Requisites
Pre-requisite: Students must be enrolled in the BENS engineering practice sub-plan pathway.
Overview
The BENS engineering practice sub-plan pathway is designed to enable experienced Engineering Associates accredited with Engineers Australia with 5 or more year of appropriate industry experience in their chosen discipline, to draw on their industrial experience to demonstrate their achievement of the required generic and technical capabilities to Engineers Australia Stage 1 Technologist (TMIEAust) competency attributes, as well as benchmark this experience to Engineers Australia Stage 2 Technologist (CTEng) competency requirements. ENG3300 Industry Experience Evaluation Portfolio will enable students to assess their existing workplace integrated learning skills, attributes and capabilities, and complete a technologist workplace ePortfolio to demonstrate their level of competency and professional achievement.
The focus of this gateway course ENG3300 is development of the student's professional engineering perspective and formation in professional engineering practice by a number of assignments to:
- Demonstrate professional competencies benchmarked to the EA stage 1 technologist, based on appropriate experiences.
- Develop and demonstrate the written communication skills that confirm the level of experience through the reflective writing of Career Episode Reports.
- Categorise and benchmark their industrial technologist experience to the broader discipline EA Stage 2 Technologists (Chartered Technologist) competency elements and attributes.
Course learning outcomes
On successful completion of this practice-based course students should be able to:
- Demonstrate that their experience is compliant to EA stage 1 Technologist Competencies.
- Develop their professional engineering reflective thinking by demonstrating their ability to write work integrated learning (WIL) based outline abstracts and reflective diary for Engineering Competency Claims (ECCs) acceptable to both UniSQ and EA professional Technologist Stage 1 and 2 standards.
- Articulate their WIL professional practice understanding of their competency as technologists to the broader discipline-wide technical and generic abilities of an EA Stage 1 Professional Engineer.
- Develop their engineering communications skills to a level suitable for producing their foundational engineering career ePortfolio for continuing professional development and accreditation on graduation for Technologist Stage 1.
