The Entomology Curriculum Australia (ECA) recieved start-up funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC). The aim of the project was for a number of Australian entomologists with an education interest to collaborate in order to develop a curriculum of entomology subjects that could be taken by students at any institution or for professional development. The team has initially developed a suite of four subjects, covering a broad range of entomology to meet Australia's growing entomological needs.
