School of Engineering · ANU College of Systems and Society
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), Bachelor of Engineering (Research and Development) (Honours) and Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Software Engineering degrees at the ANU are accredited by Engineers Australia. A requirement of Engineers Australia, as part of the degree accreditation, is that ALL students MUST complete the equivalent of 12 weeks of full-time work experience outside the University during their studies. This is implemented in the engineering degrees at the ANU as ENGN3100. It is the student's responsibility to organise the work experience. When any ANU sourced placements become available, students will be invited to apply. The School of Engineering and the College provide resources to help students find work experience, including an online information session held in first semester, an annual seminar held in second semester, a Guide on how to source work experience and a list of host organisations. To obtain these additional resources, send your request to studentemployability.css@anu.edu.au. An engineering work experience component is ideally 12 weeks (420 hours) in an engineering environment where the student is supervised by a suitably qualified engineer/software engineer. Also acceptable is 8 weeks in an engineering environment under the supervision of a suitably qualified engineer/software engineer, and the remaining 4 weeks in any sort of employment. This assumes this is based on a 35hr working week, excluding unpaid breaks, inline with ANU EA For Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Software Engineering (AENSE) students, the "minimum of 8 weeks of experience in an engineering environment" component must be ‘Software Engineering related" and the supervisor must also be working as a Software Engineer. All work experience claimed must have been completed after the commencement of the degree. Please contact the course convener if you have any questions. Students are required to submit a 10-15 page report upon completion of their work experience. For details of report requirements, report assessment and submission procedure, please see Understanding ENGN3100 for ANU Engineering students
ENGN3100 Practical experience report
Learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
ENGN3100 Report - Students must complete 12 weeks (420 hours) of full-time work experience as part of their engineering degree. - A 10-15 page report must be submitted describing the work experience. The employer must sign off on the report. Please see the report template (ENGN3100 | ANU College of Systems and Society). The report should contain: - Title - Contents - Summary - (Scanned) LETTER(S) FROM EMPLOYER(S) - Technical Report - Development of Stage 1 Competency Standards for Professional Engineer - If you are claiming for employment at more than one place of work, your report must include a letter from each employer (on company letterhead, where letterhead exists) being claimed for, stating the number of full-time and part-time days worked by the student, with dates. This is important so that it is easy to see exactly how much time the student has actually worked for. A template is provided in the resources webpage. - LETTERS WITHOUT SUFFICIENT DETAIL WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. See the employer letter template provided with the report template (ENGN3100 | ANU College of Systems and Society). Scan the signed original letters and include in your electronic report submission. Keep the originals for your record. - The report itself need only describe the experience at one of the places (must be one of the places satisfying the engineering requirement). - Of the 12 weeks of work experience claimed at least 8 weeks (280 hours) must be within an engineering environment, preferably working with a professional engineer. The other 4 weeks (140 hours) may be in any general type of work (e.g. retail). - Students cannot claim for any work undertaken within the ANU or any other university. - Students who are undertaking their honours or summer research project with an employer other than the ANU may claim this time as work experience up to the full 12 weeks. Work Integrated Learning Placements This course provides you with the industry experience that makes the transition to employment much easier, can give you an insight into how the industry is working, developing and define your career path in Engineering. This Accreditation placement will enable you to understand how you can apply what you’ve learnt into a practical setting where you develop a sense of workplace culture.
