ENG292 Engineering Portfolio - Developing (14)

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. Whilst ENG292 takes place in the context of a paid workplacement, it does not meet the CSU definition of WPL.  During their workplacement students need to prepare a refective, informative portfolio detailing their work experience and skills mastered.  Progress in the portfolio will show that they are exhibiting the required graduate attributes at a developing level.  This subject assesses the experience and practice of students and the way in which this is presented to both technical and non-technical audiences.
