Abstract

The difficulties facing industries in Australia may be recognised as the inevitable consequence of a long and comfortable colonial dependence on overseas technology reinforced by several decades of intellectual and social attitudes which gave low priority to engineering and technological development.

A range of such Australian community attitudes and values are identified as 'encumbrances' that frustrate Australian engineers and engineering, particularly in the fields of education, administration and government. The values considered to be intellectual encumbrances to Australian engineering and technology are characterized as the 'gentlemen', the 'protestors', the 'managers', the 'lawyers', the 'economists', and the 'politicians'.
