“…They found that the best results were due to outsourcing community engagements, suggesting the need for more Indigenous awareness education for engineering students. Hollis and Goldfinch (2017) also surveyed Australian engineering graduates in their first years of the industry to assess their experience, training, and formal education of Indigenous Cultural Heritage. They found that some students took additional courses to learn about Indigenous Cultural Heritage, but it was not a requirement, therefore most graduates lacked the training and confidence to collaborate with Indigenous community stakeholders once in the industry (Hollis and Goldfinch 2017).…”

In this study, a rapid grey and academic literature scoping review was conducted to investigate how Indigenous Knowledges, perspectives, values and cultures are being incorporated into engineering education in several colonialized countries. The findings were used to make recommendations on advancing the Biosystems Engineering curriculum at the University of Manitoba to educate future engineers who have the cultural capacity to work ethically, respectfully, and reciprocally in engineering practice and partnership with Indigenous Peoples and communities. The study was spurred in part by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 94 Calls to Action. In collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, calls for integrating Indigenous knowledge and teaching methods into classrooms and building student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. Sources for this review were gathered from Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, countries that share a similar history of European colonization and are developing methods for curricular change. The findings demonstrated that incorporation of Indigenous Knowledges perspectives in engineering education can be organized into five main themes: 1. capacity building for engineering educators, 2. consultation and collaboration with Indigenous Peoples and communities, 3. coalescing dominant, Indigenous and engineering perspectives, 4. preparing students for professional practice with Indigenous Peoples, and 5. developing a new curriculum. By incorporating these recommendations, engineering educators will help create an educational environment where Indigenous Peoples and their ways of knowing, being and doing have space alongside Western and engineering worldviews. This will prepare engineering students for culturally sensitive and ethically sound professional practice and support the students who will see themselves reflected in Biosystems Engineering.

“…A key criticism related to the fact that developers had limited knowledge of Aboriginal cultural heritage and were poorly placed to identify the potential impacts their works may have on Aboriginal cultural heritage (DATSIP, 2017). For example, a recent study investigating the exposure of graduate engineers to Aboriginal cultural heritage training at university and in the work force found that 53% of participants employed in the public sector have been exposed to some form of Aboriginal cultural heritage training, whereas only 24% of participants in the private sector have been exposed to such training (Hollis & Goldfinch, 2017, p. 57). The ACHA relies heavily on the good conscience of developers and there have been consistent calls for traditional owners to be advised of and consulted in relation to all activities that will impact on Aboriginal cultural heritage (Brockett, 2013, p. 158; QSNTS, 2011, p. 15).…”

“…The lack of State oversight means that it is unknown whether developers have the skills and expertise to recognise Aboriginal cultural heritage (Winn & Taçon, 2016, p. 180). A recent study on the cultural heritage capacities of graduate engineers concluded that a majority of engineers would not be confident in identifying an item or place of Aboriginal cultural heritage (Hollis & Goldfinch, 2017, p. 59).…”

The Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (QLD) (ACHA) removes the Queensland Government from any direct role in the regulation of Aboriginal cultural heritage, and operates by encouraging and in certain circumstances, requiring agreements between developers and Aboriginal groups. This paper argues that these agreements constitute a form of private governance. Agreements between developers and Aboriginal groups have traditionally been seen as falling outside private governance literature as they are domestic and contractual in nature. However, private governance theory has recently been used to understand agreements between developers and Indigenous groups in Canada and this paper will demonstrate that the approach of the ACHA constitutes a form of private governance. This paper will analyse the ACHA against key principles for good governance and explore the challenges for the protection of Aboriginal cultural heritage when the state is removed as regulator.
