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.

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.
