It is estimated that there are over 100 000 engineers in Australia.
The majority of engineering jobs are in NSW, Victoria and Queensland,
with fewer than one third of engineers working in the other states and territories.
The number of women in engineering has traditionally been low but this is slowly changing and more women are
taking up engineering as a profession. However, they are still under-represented in university courses,
with women typically making up less than 20 per cent of the engineering student population at Australian universities.
