Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. Work effectively in a professional engineering environment individually and as part of team.
2. Describe roles, activities and work undertaken in a professional engineering environment.
3. Demonstrate insight into professional engineering practice for future practice.
4. Reflect on workplace issues such as human and industrial relations, job organisation, maintenance, safety and environmental issues.
5. Reflect on how engineering courses and electives contribute to the development of breadth and depth of knowledge and multidisciplinary skills and self-competence for ethical practice within the Stage 1 Engineers Australia Stage 1 graduate engineer competencies.

Work Integrated Learning

Placements

This course provides you with the industry experience that makes the transition to employment much easier, can give you an insight into how the industry is working, developing and define your career path in Engineering. This Accreditation placement will enable you to understand how you can apply what you’ve learnt into a practical setting where you develop a sense of workplace culture.

1. ENGN3100 Practical experience report (100) [LO 1,2,3,4,5]

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.

Workload

ENGN3100 Report

• Students must complete 12 weeks (420 hours) of full-time work experience as part of their engineering degree.
• A 10-15 page report must be submitted describing the work experience. The employer must sign off on the report. Please see the report template (ENGN3100 | ANU College of Engineering, Computing & Cybernetics). The report should contain:
• Title
• Contents
• Summary
• (Scanned) LETTER(S) FROM EMPLOYER(S)
• Technical Report
• Development of Stage 1 Competency Standards for Professional Engineer
• If you are claiming for employment at more than one place of work, your report must include a letter from each employer (on company letterhead, where letterhead exists) being claimed for, stating the number of full-time and part-time days worked by the student, with dates. This is important so that it is easy to see exactly how much time the student has actually worked for. A template is provided in the resources webpage.
• LETTERS WITHOUT SUFFICIENT DETAIL WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. See the employer letter template provided with the report template (ENGN3100 | ANU College of Engineering, Computing & Cybernetics). Scan the signed original letters and include in your electronic report submission. Keep the originals for your record.
• The report itself need only describe the experience at one of the places (must be one of the places satisfying the engineering requirement).
• Of the 12 weeks of work experience claimed at least 8 weeks (280 hours) must be within an engineering environment, preferably working with a professional engineer. The other 4 weeks (140 hours) may be in any general type of work (e.g. retail).
• Students cannot claim for any work undertaken within the ANU or any other university.
• Students who are undertaking their honours or summer research project with an employer other than the ANU may claim this time as work experience up to the full 12 we
