Content

Not only are employers seeking engineering graduates with good technical knowledge, they are also demanding that they have well-developed professional skills. Even though you may have been working in the industry for a number of years, professional skills are a living skills, requiring ongoing improvement. SEP701 is designed for students who have experience working in industry but need further development in evidencing professional skills. Students will identify professional skills that they have developed through their work activities in the field of engineering and explore what constitutes evidence and how to document evidence for credentialing purposes.
