This unit provides you with the opportunity to apply skills and knowledge developed in your academic course to engineering practice. This unit will also develop new engineering practice skills and knowledge. You will document and reflect on work activities and relate them to Engineers Australia's Stage 1 Competency Standards and develop a strategic approach to personal growth in the workplace. You are required to undertake a minimum of 300 hours of work placement, which may require relocation of accommodation to suit the placement. Students should contact the unit coordinator prior to enrolment in this unit to discuss placement requirements.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Pre-requisite: A GPA of 4.1 across 48 credit points in the first year of CV82 Master of Engineering course.
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 Postgraduate 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.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

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 Unit coordinator's reflection
Students appreciated the design of the Moodle webpage, with all information relevant to the assessment items made available from the first day of the internship.
The Moodle webpage should be set up before the beginning of the term, and students should have access to all information relevant to assessment items, including the report template and marking criteria.
Feedback from Unit coordinator's reflection
Students also appreciated the on-demand drop-in sessions organised by the unit coordinator.
The unit coordinator should be available to promptly arrange one-on-one or group drop-in sessions with students upon request.
