The series of Engineering Professional Practice modules are designed to be taken to support your work placement. ENG150 - Engineering Professional Practice 1 and ENG250 - Engineering Professional Practice 2 can be taken concurrently as foundational learning for your placement. ENG300 - Engineering Professional Practice 3 should be enrolled in to align as closely as possible with undertaking your placement hours and completing associated compliance forms - you ideally should have found a placement but not yet commenced when enrolling in this module. The first 3 modules must be completed before enrolling in the final module, ENG400 - Engineering Professional Practice 4, typically taken during the final year of your degree.
Introduction
The second module (ideally completed in year two) extends this focus by addressing job-seeking strategies and professional interview skills, and by providing foundational knowledge of workplace behaviour and safety standards. Completion of this stage is a prerequisite for undertaking the Work Placement.
Attention is directed towards evaluating organisational strategies that promote inclusive environments and climate-safe approaches. This integrated approach not only strengthens students’ immediate employability but also fosters the long-term development of socially responsible, industry-engaged engineering professionals.
