| Abstract | A study was undertaken to provide information on the overall structure of the engineering workforce in Australia and the job functions of each occupational cluster. In the study, the term "engineering technical workforce" was defined as all staff primarily performing engineering functions between the levels of tradesperson and professional engineer or surveyor. The study involved a review of literature, interviews with Technical and Further Education and Training Authority staff and engineering workers, and two national surveys that obtained data from more than 2,000 persons throughout Australia. Data were analyzed through cluster analysis. Ninety-nine primary clusters were identified; these merged into intermediate clusters and then four major clusters: engineering systems and administration, civil engineering and surveying, drafting and design, and electrical and electronic engineering. The job function profile and background characteristics of each occupational cluster were drawn. The study found that the duties important to most workers were written communication, oral communication, general administration, the use of calculators and computers, and engineering drawing. The study showed that there are two primary levels of technical engineering workers: associates and technicians, with associates having completed more education and technicians having more on-the-job training. Recommendations for changes to course organization and content were made as a result of the study. (KC) |
