Abstract

Australia needs more creative graduates. Over the past decade, the Australian economy has become increasingly dependent on the mining and goods/services sectors. Growth in these areas has largely been at the expense of the manufacturing sector, which was previously the largest sector in the economy. The country’s education system has also progressed disproportionately towards the dominant service sector, mostly at the expense of a progressively-designed, innovative Engineering education system. Traditional Engineering curriculum has inappropriately progressed towards abstractness, rather than the necessary interactive, integrated experience based on practical learning. There is a need to re-evaluate the current educational infrastructure to ensure that emerging professionals are equipped to function and excel in both service and manufacturing capacities.
