ENG491 Engineering Portfolio - Consolidating (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. During their work placement, students are expected to advance their portfolio from ENG292, and show that they are exhibiting the required graduate attributes at a consolidating level; the level at which they are more certain and confident about their job responsibilities. The subject assesses the experience and practice of students and the way in which this is presented to both technical and nontechnical 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.
