The portfolio comprises of three separate sections that should be submitted separately. These sections include:

1) Engineering Practice Report:

Each student must have gained and then report on a minimum number of hours approved industry experience in an appropriate area of engineering as follows:

• A minimum of 12 weeks or 480 hours for Bachelor of Engineering (Honours);
• A minimum of 9 weeks or 360 hours for Bachelor of Engineering Technology; and
• A minimum of 6 weeks or 240 hours for Associate Degree of Engineering.

The student must submit a report indicating the type of work done, the degree of responsibility involved, the person(s) to whom the student was directly responsible, and the general activities of the employer. Please note that even if you are working full-time in industry whilst studying, you must still submit a report.

2) Reflection on Engineers Australia Stage One Competencies:

The students must reflect on how they have met each of Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies with a sound and supported evidence. Students may use evidence from their e-Portfolio, assessments, tasks completed on work experience and other relevant activities. Therefore, a good e-Portfolio will be very helpful. Students must mention the tasks completed and reflect on their skill development and knowledge.
