Engineering Professional Practice
Engineering Professional Practice allows UNSW's industry partners to work with current students and to identify potential future recruits. Students have the opportunity to gain exposure to a professional workplace, culture and expectations.
Engineering Professional Practice plays an important part in any engineer's professional development and UNSW welcomes the opportunity to engage with Host partners.
What is Engineering Professional Practice?
UNSW Engineering students who have Engineering Professional Practice as a program requirement, must complete 60 days of approved Engineering Professional Practice to graduate and qualify for accreditation by Engineers Australia (EA). All undergraduate students undertaking a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons), including dual programs, and postgraduate students studying the Master of Engineering (8621) program must complete 60 days of ‘Engineering Professional Practice’ (Engineering related).
Engineering Professional Practice is undertaken as Work Integrated Learning (WIL) at UNSW. Students must source their own Engineering Professional Practice placement; learning employability skills to prepare for a future career. Opportunities can be sourced via the Jobs boards or undertake real-world projects offered by UNSW.
Students must gain approval for a placement before commencing.
