Students shall demonstrate these abilities in compliance with 3.2, and UniSQ School of generic professional practice graduate capability MSGE3 (open the example MENS Civil Engineering Graduate Capabilities and Elements 07 Feb 209.pdf) . This includes the ability to develop emotional intelligence and reflective thinking reporting for peer interaction and self-assessment.
Justification of inherent requirement:
Professional practice in the demonstration of emotional intelligence and sensitivity to others, including non-verbal clues assists in building and networking positive rapport. Similarly cultivating and demonstrating appropriate professional expression and presentation, mindful of time is a requirement for professional communications assessment during this program and in future engineering careers to have influence in decision making processes in a much larger employment or even public entity.
Adjustments to this shall not compromise professional communications skills and outcome requirements for professional engineering practice. Adjustments specific to the individual can be discussed with the Support Equity Officers.
Examples:
• Logical progression and development of a line of reasoning in written or presentation interaction with students and staff, and assessments.
• Correct English linguistic expression and syntax, using professional engineering terms and appropriate structure, illustration and citation to written reports, research papers and presentations.
• Development of a personal passionate style of engaging with others that reflects the criticality of information exchange in the engineering professional environment.
Students entering this program are already graduate technologists or practicing technologists or professional engineering practitioners. As already recipients of engineering degree awards, ethical and conduct in this program are governed by and relevant MENS program student graduate capabilities and elements of competence.
The student demonstrates:
• Knowledge of ethical conduct and engage in such ethical behaviour.
Justification of inherent requirement:
Compliance with the codes, guidelines and policies facilitates safe, competent interactions and relationships for students and/or the people they engage with. This ensures the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of any individual is not placed at risk, and also defines the outcomes in terms of continuing professional practice before graduation, such as promotion of sustainability in engineering, technical competence, equitable treatment of all students and staff, and development of teamwork and leadership skills.
Adjustments shall not compromise codes and standards or result in unethical behaviour. Adjustments specific to the individual can be discussed with the Support Equity Officers.
Examples:
• Compliance while enrolled in this program to ; demonstrated compliance to , and .
• As a previous recipient of an undergraduate engineering degree, continue to demonstrate integrity (e.g., act on the basis of a well-informed conscience), practise competently (e.g., represent areas of competence objectively), exercise leadership (e.g., support and encourage diversity) and promote sustainability (e.g., foster the health, safety and wellbeing of the community and the environment). These standards are described in detail in the .
• Demonstrate appropriate ethical and professional conduct to other students, staff, enterprise staff or public, during lectures, workshops, laboratory work, field work, work placements, teamwork, peer assessment and public UniSQ show case or other events associated with the School of Engineering or UniSQ in general.
The student demonstrates:
• Knowledge and compliance to Australia law, industry codes, professional regulations, Australian/NZ standards, international standards where applicable, and as applicable to their specific engineering discipline the as per the relevant MENS program student graduate capabilities and elements of competence.
Justification of inherent requirement:
Students in assessment processes and interactions with staff, and other students, and industry and public are required to demonstrate compliance with Australian legal and professional practice standards to the well-being (including physical, psychological, emotional, cultural/heritage, or spiritual) of any individual is not placed at risk.
Adjustments shall not compromise the codes, standards and legal requirements that result in unethical behaviour. Adjustments specific to the individual can be discussed with the Support Equity Officers.
Examples:
• Recognition and citation of others’ intellectual property.
• Consideration and demonstration of legal engineering responsibilities in original design work to culture and heritage, and end of life of technology’s impact on environment.
2. Demonstration various element of professional engineering practice, field work, technical tasks require sufficient sensory skills, strength and mobility to complete the required activities associated with this program.
3. Demonstration of item (2) of this section can include use of (but not limited to) adaptive equipment, assistance technology, assistant personnel or modifications to task that do not compromise or impact on academic knowledge and skills required to complete this program.
