Australia has a shortage  and an industry body has ideas on how the education system can help

A new report by Michael Bell, Peter Briggs, Justine Romanis and Jane MacMaster for Institution of Engineers Australia  includes initiatives in education,notably:

* Commonwealth Supported Places for accredited engineering masters to encourage upskilling and reskilling

* incentives for engineering associate and engineering technologist quals

* financial support for engineering students to complete courses, and in minimum time

* more internships

* support for students to “strengthen inclusivity” and “diminish imposter syndrome” (especially for women)
