Aims & Objectives
The aim of this course is to use the internship experience to enable students to develop their engineering skills and practice. Invited Students will be placed in industry and assessed for academic credit. The internships will be aligned with the aims of the engineering program and its areas of specialisation. Students will experience a real-life engineering workplace and understand how their engineering and professional skills and knowledge can be utilised in industry. They will also be able to demonstrate functioning engineering knowledge, both new and existing, and identify areas of further development for their future careers.
Course Intended Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Experience of applying existing engineering knowledge in similar or new situations
