Training and events

A large part of our role is to promote the mechanical engineering profession and to deliver continuing professional development (CPD) for mechanical engineers. CPD helps engineers fulfill their leadership potential and ensures they keep up with important industry and technical updates and innovations.

We have branches in every state and territory in Australia that deliver CPD to Engineers Australia members and guests with online and in-person training and events. 

Visit our Learning and events page to see a full list of available CPD and training opportunities including the Australasian Congress on Applied Mechanics.
