ENG291 Engineering Portfolio - Introductory (14)
Abstract
In this subject students draw upon their experience in industry to demonstrate that they are progressively obtaining the skills and attributes expected of a CSU engineering graduate.
Students will be required to construct a professional online portfolio to provide evidence of their development. Progress in the portfolio will show that they are exhibiting the required graduate attributes at an introductory level.
This subject is assessed by a portfolio of work and experiences representing their preparedness for engineering practice, including presenting to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Work Place Learning| This subject contains a Compulsory Workplace Learning component of 365 days duration.
The portfolio will be compiled during students’ work placement, where they are working in industry as Cadet Engineers. The work placement occurs over a period of approximately a year, and includes paid work, workplace learning, as well as study time for other subjects. It is anticipated that students will spend an average of an hour and a half per day on portfolio activities while on placement.
