Incorporating Indigenous perspectives into curricula
Embedding Indigenous perspectives in the engineering curriculum actively involves Indigenous communities in every stage of program development and delivery to build genuine, collaborative and sustainable partnerships.
Indigenous Engineering & Design
Indigenous Engineering and Design (MULT30022) is a subject conducted on country in collaboration with the Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owner Aboriginal Corporation at the Budj Bim National Heritage Cultural Landscape at Lake Condah in south-west Victoria. Students experience a two-way learning exchange, exploring world renowned examples of Indigenous design and engineering developed over thousands of years.
ARC’s Special Research Initiative for Australian Society, History and Culture successful MSE bid “Indigenous Engineering: Interpreting Engineering Foundations of Budj Bim”
This project aims to elucidate the engineering processes that enabled the Gunditjmara to site, plan, construct, operate and maintain this aquaculture complex, to show how it may have evolved over time, and how it responded to changing social and environmental circumstances. This project will develop geospatial methods to uncover and document the technological foundations of the aquaculture complex, and contribute to the understanding of the Gunditjmara technological knowledge and history.
