A coastal road can sit above the expected sea level and still be exposed to flooding. Waves may wash over nearby barriers, while low sections of shoreline give water a route inland. That is why coastal flood modelling needs to look beyond how much the sea might rise.  A study...Read More

Engineering standards provide a basis for making technical decisions. But when several solutions meet the same set of standards, engineering professionals may need to choose which solution is most appropriate for the project. The question is, what else should shape that choice? From Practice to Standards Before formal engineering standards...Read More

An electric vehicle usually sits outside a home doing nothing while its owner cooks dinner, watches television or sleeps. What if its battery could help power the house, or send electricity back to the grid when demand rises?  That is the promise of vehicle-to-grid in Australia. The main obstacles are...Read More

Behind every piece of hospital equipment is someone relying on it. For Bruce Morrison, that responsibility has shaped a career spanning hospital engineering, international development and teaching. Now, that career has been recognized with Engineers Australia’s 2026 David Dewhurst Award.  An online lecturer teaching biomedical engineering courses at the Engineering...Read More

An online civil engineering degree can make study more accessible, but flexibility is only part of the decision. These eight checks help you assess the qualification, learning experience and commitments before enrolling.  Perhaps you already work on construction sites, want to change careers, or cannot relocate to study. Learning online...Read More

Heat pump retrofits can make heating more efficient, but replacing a gas boiler also changes where a building gets its energy. The electrical system may need to carry a load it was never designed for.  Imagine an office building warming up on a cold morning. Lights come on, lifts start...Read More

An engineering decision may be technically sound on its own, but what happens when it meets another system, another discipline, or another constraint? This article examines why technically sound decisions can become difficult when they cross disciplinary boundaries, and why the connections between systems can be just as important as...Read More

The inaugural online event will connect prospective students and working professionals across Africa with practical guidance on engineering education, career development and flexible study.  October 9, 2026 — The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) will host its first Africa Open Day on November 14, 2026, bringing prospective students and working...Read More

Thinking about engineering study, but unsure how it would fit into your life? Meet the people who can help you explore your options—and a graduate who has been through it himself.  Perhaps you have been looking at engineering courses for months. You open a course page, picture where the qualification...Read More

Moving natural gas from production sites to distant markets often requires specialized infrastructure. One way to make long-haul transport by sea possible, is to cool the gas into liquid, creating liquefied natural gas (LNG). Transporting LNG by sea presents its own complexities; designing a facility capable of processing it offshore...Read More
