Professional engagement is the means by which engineering students develop into engineering practitioners. The process of professional engagement starts from your very first day of study with us and continues throughout the duration of your engineering degree.

Instead of the traditional 12-week summer placements between third and fourth years, you will complete a minimum 600 hours of in-curricular and extra-curricular activities from your first semester, including:

• industry site visits,
• engineering and computer science conferences,
• non-engineering extra-curricular activities such as volunteering,
• work experience, and
• a minimum six-week internship during your final year.

This combination of experiences is designed to enhance your technical engineering-focused skills development, transferable skills development and professional engineering practice in industry.

Student progress is monitored and assessed through a series of workshops that must be completed every semester.
