What is Industrial Training?

UNSW Engineering students who have Industrial Training as a program requirement, must complete 60 days of approved Industrial Training (IT) 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 ‘Industrial Training’ (Engineering related).
