ENGG5217: Practical Experience

2025 unit information

The 3 year MPE requires students to obtain industrial work experience of twelve weeks duration (420 working hours) or its equivalent towards satisfying the requirements for award of the degree. Students can undertake their work experience in the final half of the MPE program. Students may have prior work in an Engineering field carried out on completion of their undergraduate degree accepted as meeting the requirements of this component. Students must be exposed to professional engineering practice to enable them to develop an engineering approach and ethos, and to gain an appreciation of engineering ethics. The student is required to seek approval from the Faculty of any work arrangements by completing a number of forms in the online system called SONIA. Assessment in this unit is by the submission of a portfolio containing written reports on the involvement with industry and other professional experience activities, submitted via SONIA. For details of the approval and reporting requirements, go to the faculty's Practical Experience canvas site https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/53854
