ENG490 Engineering Portfolio - Senior Cadet (28)

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. During their work placement, students are expected to advance their portfolio developed at an early stage of their profession, and show that they are exhibiting the required graduate attributes at a senior level; the level at which they are more certain and confident about their job responsibilities. The subject assesses the experiences and practices of students and the way in which this is presented to both technical and non-technical audiences.

No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2020.

Where differences exist between the Handbook and the SAL, the SAL should be taken as containing the correct subject offering details.
