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 12-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 25 hours of study per week, making a total of 300 hours for the unit.

Students have raised concerns regarding the timing of the evaluation, noting that they have not yet completed the unit, nor are they nearing its completion.
Students should be advised that the student evaluation is administered by the university for all units during a designated timeframe and, therefore, cannot be adjusted for this unit alone.
In Progress
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- Apply skills and knowledge developed in the academic course to engineering practice in an engineering organisation.
- Develop engineering practice skills and knowledge to complement the skills and knowledge developed in the course.
- Record and reflect on work activities and map them to Engineers Australia Stage 2 Competency Standards.
- Develop a strategic approach to personal growth in the workplace.
- Document the structure, products and services of an engineering organisation.
