Content
Community Science Project is a Professional Practice core unit within the Bachelor of Science. In this unit, students will apply scientific knowledge, processes and techniques in a team-based project and communicate the value of science to a range of audiences. They will develop professional skills that will allow them to articulate with evidence their graduate capabilities. Through their engagement in authentic projects, students will gain an increased self-awareness of their strengths, identify any weaknesses and learn how to strengthen their knowledge and skills particularly in teamwork and communication, which are highly sought after skills by employers of science graduates. Additionally, in this Unit students will learn to articulate the discipline and transferable skills gained from the project and apply what they have their learnt through the creation of a job application package to help prepare them for seeking work opportunities and a career in science.
