In Progress
Please note that this Unit Profile is still in progress. The content below is subject to change.Overview
As a student enrolled in Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Co-op Engineering), you will apply skills and knowledge developed in the academic course to engineering practice in an industry-based, Work Integrated Learning (WIL) context. You will identify and plan work placement objectives, document technical work practices and processes to Engineers Australia Stage 2 Competency Standards, and prepare a portfolio detailing your personal and professional growth in an industry-based engineering position. Note that students are required to undertake a minimum of 24 weeks of paid or unpaid work placement that may require relocation of accommodation to suit their employment.

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 1 - 2025
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.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from UC reflection
Follow up with phone calls to students to check their progress and employment situation.
Make phone calls to students during tutorial session times if students are not attending.
Feedback from Student feedback
Encourage students to raise concerns. Simple short lectures about tenets and good practice or potential workplace issues.
During class sessions and tutorials encourage students to raise concerns or interesting matters related to their work experience. Develop additional content.
- Document work placement position requirements, objectives and plan
- Apply skills and knowledge developed in the academic course to engineering practice within an organisation
- Document engineering work practices and processes in a professional manner
- Critically analyse work tasks and map these to Engineers Australia Stage 2 Competency Standards
- Develop and apply engineering practice skills and knowledge to complement the skills and knowledge developed in the course
- Review and assess personal and professional development achieved during the work placement.
