Engineering practice is essential for all graduating engineers. In this unit, you will analyse the structure, products, and services of your host organisation. You will demonstrate completing the professional practice requirements of your course. Additionally, you will reflect on attaining Engineers Australia's Stage 1 Competencies using evidence from your e-portfolio, professional practice experience, units studied, and other experiences. Finally, you will identify future opportunities aligned with your interests and capabilities to develop a career plan.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Prerequisite: 72cp for CC02 Associate Degree of Engineering students OR otherwise, the final-year Project Planning unit (ENTG13002 OR ENEG14003)
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 2 - 2024
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 0-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 0 hours of study per week, making a total of 0 hours for the unit.
