Work Placement ENG700
Introduction
This unit of study aims to provide you with practical engineering experience in an environment outside the University and improve your awareness of the issues associated with professional practice. In so doing, it will ensure your perceptions of engineering during your studies develop alongside the realities of practice. This final placement unit will provide the opportunity for you to reflect on your studies to date and how they translate to real-world practice.
