ENG492 Engineering Portfolio - Advanced (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 ENG492 takes place in the context of a paid work placement, it does not meet the CSU definition of WPL. During their work placement students will continue the portfolio from ENG491. Progress in the portfolio will show that they are exhibiting the required graduate attributes at an advanced level. The subject assesses the experience and practice of students and the way in which this experience is presented to both technical and non-technical audiences.

No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2022.

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