- Demonstrate advanced written and oral communication to justify your approach to a complex engineering problem at a mastered level (EA Stage 1 competency 3.2).
- Compile a Work Placement Report that meets the QUT Engineering Work Placement Experience and Certification Guidelines.
Content
1. Working as a professional engineer- self management and management of the project, negotiating and setting expectations around documentation and information management with your supervisor, and professional conduct.
2. Exploring the current state of engineering knowledge in your research project area- identifying gaps in knowledge through literature review.
3. Sustainability, ethics and risk management in light of Engineers Australia Stage 1 competency elements.
4. Using your project to contribute to your professional development.
5. Communicating professionally through technical writing and presentations.
Learning Approaches
In this unit you can expect to experience the following timetabled activities:
- Formal lectures (in weeks 1, 2, 5, and 10 for a total of 10 hours) from experienced engineering
research academics to give you insight into professional engineering research knowledge, skills
and attributes. You will have the opportunity to ask questions during these lectures.
To complement these timetabled activities, you will be provided with learning resources including videos and readings on a unit Canvas site that you can access flexibly to assist you in completing your learning in this unit.
At the beginning of the unit, you will be made aware of the ways in which you can ask questions or seek clarification from the Unit Coordinator.
You are expected to:
- Engage with timetabled activities on campus and ask questions.
- Manage your time to engage with online resources outside of timetabled activities. These will be available on the unit Canvas site. You will receive regular email announcements regarding release of these resources.
- At commencement of semester apply, and then be accepted for by the end of week 1, a research topic approved by a potential supervisor, which is relevant to your engineering first major (study area A) using the system prescribed by the unit coordinator.
- Work in a self-directed manner and with your student project team throughout the semester to arrange, prepare for, and attend bi-weekly meetings with your academic supervisor and where relevant industry supervisor, where you will demonstrate your progress and discuss your ongoing work with your project team.
- Undertake work independently and with your student project team outside of your timetabledactivities and supervision meetings to complete your work.
- Complete assessment tasks by working consistently through the semester and meeting the due dates that are published on the unit Canvas site.
To meet the requirements of this unit, you must complete 60 days of Work Placement, including at least 30 days in an engineering role, by Week 13. You must also submit the Work Placement Report, which is a threshold assessment. This means you must receive a Satisfactory grade on this report to be eligible to graduate and work as an engineer. For current details, refer to the Work Placement Report assessment description in the Canvas sites for EGH408 and the Bachelor of Engineering Community site also in Canvas.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
During bi-weekly meetings with your academic supervisor (and industry supervisor for industry projects), you will share your formative ideas for your assessments and you will receive feedback from your supervisor/s and your student project team. As part of an effective team you will share the findings of your project work with your supervisor/s for marking and feedback, and you will share your oral defence of your project delivery with your supervisor/s with members of your class. You are encouraged to view this team as a learning community and to share and discuss emergent ideas in the engineering research and investigation process and your understandings of engineering professional practice. Each assessment submission will be graded against criteria and standards that will be shared with you at the beginning of semester through Assessment Task Descriptions and Marking Rubrics.
Marked assessment will include feedback given by the markers against the criteria.
Assessment
Overview
Assessment in the unit has been designed to give you the opportunity to show your learning against the unit learning outcomes. The due dates of assessments represent a series of coordinated milestones within an engineering research project that spans an intensive 13 weeks for a 24cp unit. You will work as a member of a cohesive team with your academic supervisor (and industry supervisor for industry projects) and your student project team,which will be assessed by your academic supervisor in your work performance assessment, and which will be reflected in your project proposal, progress report, project delivery report and oral defence. You will deploy work practices that align to professional practice (such as project management, ethics, risk management, stakeholder and audience engagement).
- Project Proposal and Progress Report: Scaffolds the research process, enabling students to define the project scope, manage timelines, and receive formative feedback.
- Work Performance: Allows supervisors to evaluate students’ professional behaviour and capabilities in real-world contexts, directly addressing Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competency 3.
- Project Delivery Report and Oral Defence: Assess students’ ability to synthesize knowledge, deliver solutions to engineering problems, and communicate findings effectively.
As a 24-credit-point capstone unit, EGH408 consolidates two semesters of work into a single teaching period, necessitating more than three assessment items to reflect the demands of intensive research and authentic professional practice. These assessments provide multiple touchpoints to guide students through the complexity of real-world engineering research tasks.
The higher frequency of assessments allows for timely, constructive feedback to keep students on track in this accelerated learning environment. This approach ensures assessments accurately reflect students’ progression toward meeting the unit’s advanced learning outcomes and AQF Level 8 standards.
An exception to Assessment and Feedback Policy Section 5 has been approved for 5 pieces of assessment and a piece of assessment with 0% weighting (i.e. for Work Placement Report).

Assessment: Work Placement Report
Work Placement Report is a threshold assessment. QUT’s engineering course uses completion of this report to demonstrate that students have met the 60-day work placement requirement required by Engineers Australia. This task does not impose an excessive workload, as it is brief, reflective, and assessed as satisfactory/unsatisfactory against the requirements published in Canvas by the Work Placement Coordinator for each Major. You are required to submit a Work Placement Report along with a Work Log, Certificate of Time Worked (signed by workplace supervisor) and an InPlace Approval email. The Work Placement Report will conform to a template and be 2 pages long. It will take the form of a Career Episode statement, linking to the competencies of the Engineers Australia (EA) Stage 1 Competency Standard for Professional Engineer.
Check the current requirements on the EGH408 Canvas site. Satisfactory completion is a requirement for finalisation of your grade for EGH408 and also for graduation from the engineering course.
You will not graduate from Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) nor be able to work as an engineer until this Report receives a grade of Satisfactory.
Threshold Assessment:
Work Placement Report is a threshold assignment with 0% weight. The purpose of this assessment item is to include the Work Integrated Learning requirement of 60 days internship, from which 30 days must be supervised by a registered engineer. The assessment ensures graduation from the course can only be achieved once the WIL requirements are fulfilled.
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.
