Required practicum documents
Young Engineers Professional Development Program Prize
Students studying a Bachelor of Engineering or a Bachelor of Computer Science (and degrees combined with these) are required to complete a period of work experience to complete their course.
See the Professional Practicum rules for the number of weeks of work experience required.
CEED Projects
Students doing a CEED Project for their final year project are automatically credited with 8, 12 or 16 weeks work but are still required to write up a report on the work they have done. So that we know they are doing a CEED project, each student is required to fill in the Certificate of Practical Work Performed indicating they are doing a CEED Project. This is to be handed in with their report, as an appendix.
Engineering Graduate Association prize
A prize is awarded for the best written Professional Practicum Report.
If you would like to be considered for the EGA prize, you need to submit two copies of your report. One copy is for the Faculty Office and one copy for the School, complete with certificates, spiral bound and clearly marked for Engineering Graduates Association Prize. The closing date is the last day of Semester 2. The prize will be awarded the following year at the Faculty Prizes and Scholarships Award evening.
Careers service
Students are recommended to register on CareerHub to keep up to date with employment opportunities.
