Content
This unit enables students studying an undergraduate accredited engineering course to engage in work integrated learning through professional engineering practice experience and continuous professional development (CPD) with a suitable organisation (or organisations). Placements must be approved by the Unit Chair before commencement and must be for a minimum of 30 working days (225 hours). Thus the course requirements can be completed in up to two separately approved professional engineering practice placements.
This practice-based experience for students is intended to enable the development and advancement of professional practice knowledge and skills typically sought from graduate professional engineers (as defined by the Australian engineering profession). All associated learning and assessment activities for this unit are cloud-based (online).
