Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

Completion of first three years of a Bachelor of Engineering program.

Course Description

Final year students in Bachelor of Engineering Programs will work between 6 and 12 months in the relevant industry, gain work experience at a world-class international company and exposure to work ethic in different cultural settings. The students can develop their competencies for Professional Engineers by improving: 1) knowledge and skill base, 2) engineering application ability, 3) professional and personal attributes. 

Before you enrol in this course you must have a confirmed placement with an international host organisation that has been approved by the course coordinator. 

Note that securing a placement is competitive, based on both academic performance and a successful interview.

Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

On completion of this course you should be able to:

1. Acquire new knowledge and skills whenever necessary.
2. Apply engineering knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to professional engineering work.
3. Effectively work in teams as leader or member.
4. Effectively communicate across all modes: listen, speak, write and draw.
5. Conduct yourself in a professional and ethical manner.

This course contributes to the development of the following competencies:

1. Knowledge and Skill Base:
