ENG290 Engineering Portfolio - Junior Cadet (28)

In this subject students draw upon their experience in the industry obtained during their ENG280 subject to demonstrate that they are progressively obtaining the skills and attributes expected of a CSU engineering graduate.  Students will construct a professional online portfolio to provide evidence of their development. The portfolio will be reflective and informative detailing their work experience and skills mastered. Progress in the portfolio will show that they are exhibiting the required graduate attributes at a junior level. This subject is assessed by a portfolio of work and experiences representing their preparedness for engineering practice and the way they present the results to both technical and non-technical audiences.

No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2021.

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