Overview
You will demonstrate that you have completed the Engagement with Professional Practice required by Engineers Australia by submission of a work placement report. You must have completed your work placement (60 days including 30 days engineering placement) according to the QUT Engineering Work Placement Experience and Certification Guidelines by Week 13. The engineering component of the Certificate of Time Worked will be signed off by an accredited engineer with 5+ years' industry experience.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Demonstrated learning of engagement with industry through submission of a Work Placement Experience Report that meets the QUT Engineering Work Placement Experience and Certification Guidelines.
Content
Guidance is provided on the requirements to complete the Work Experience Placement Report via the Canvas site, as well as in a module in the Undergraduate Engineering community Canvas site "Mandatory Work Placement".
Learning Approaches
There are no formal lectures for this unit. All information will be supplied by the Canvas site.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
During your work placement, you will receive feedback from your industry supervisor (a professional engineer). The Work Placement Report will be marked as Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory by an academic familiar with your major.
Assessment
Overview
To successfully complete your engineering course, it is a mandatory requirement to achieve a Satisfactory grade for your Work Placement Experience Report. The final grade will be marked either Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory and it will not contribute to your final GPA or honours calculation.
You will not be able to work as a professional engineer until the course is completed which requires a Satisfactory grade in this unit.
Unit Grading Scheme
S (Satisfactory) / U (Unsatisfactory)
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Work Placement Experience Report
You are required to submit a Workplace Experience Report along with a Work Log, Certificate of Time Worked (signed by workplace supervisor) and InPlace Approval email.
Your Workplace Experience Report will conform to a template and be 2 pages long. It will take the form of a Career Episode statement, linking to the national competency standards of Engineers Australia (EA) for Professional Engineer.
This task will be marked as satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Satisfactory completion is requirement for course completion and graduation.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
The ethical and responsible use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools is authorised in this assessment. See the relevant assessment details in Canvas for specific guidelines.
Threshold Assessment:
All QUT undergraduate engineering students must complete engineering placements for real-world experience, and submit a Work Placement Experience report under the supervision of an experienced engineer. The report submission meets Engineers Australia's requirement for engagement with professional practice. See module at the Engineering community Canvas site here for further information.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a commitment to undertaking academic work and assessment in a manner that is ethical, fair, honest, respectful and accountable.
The Academic Integrity Policy sets out the range of conduct that can be a failure to maintain the standards of academic integrity. This includes, cheating in exams, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating. It also includes providing fraudulent or altered documentation in support of an academic concession application, for example an assignment extension or a deferred exam.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Breaching QUT’s Academic Integrity Policy or engaging in conduct that may defeat or compromise the purpose of assessment can lead to a finding of student misconduct (Code of Conduct – Student) and result in the imposition of penalties under the Management of Student Misconduct Policy, ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
