Guide to Industrial Training Requirement
All students enrolled in programs 3648, 3651, 3652 are required to undertake 60 days of Industrial Training and submit a report. The report is graded satisfactory or unsatisfactory and this result is attached to SENG4903. Please note: you do not need to, and in fact cannot, enrol in SENG4903.
- Each student is personally responsible for ensuring the completion of at least a full 60 Days industrial training prescribed as part of the requirements for the award of the degree. Industrial Training should be concurrent with enrolment and is best accumulated in the summer recesses at the end of Years 2 and 3, but should be completed by the end of Year 4.
- Industrial Training must be completed before graduation. If IT has not been completed before the rest of the program is complete, then graduation will be delayed until IT is completed. Some students enter employment and use the first 3 months of the job to satisfy the IT requirement.
- The school regards industrial training as having three main functions:
- to provide technical experience and application of theory;
- to provide experience in dealing with people;
- to ease the transition from University study to professional employment.
- The training should be in the field relevant to the student's interest and standard at that time:
 First or second year studentsPractical work in any engineering plants, workshops, mining companies, factory process areas or data processing department. Note: where the job is unskilled in nature, it is unlikely that more than 25 days will be recognised as industrial training. It is also unlikely that cleaning, kitchen or sales work will be acceptable as part of industrial training.
- Third or Fourth year students
Students should in general work with professional engineers and take an active part in their work in the design of simple equipment, solving of engineering problems, or any other work which is relevant to the profession of Engineering.
- It is School policy that industrial training should include some experience with Australian Industry, even if only at a relatively unskilled level.
Some industrial training may be undertaken with an overseas company of high repute.
For further information on industrial training please see the CSE IT page; in particular the guidelines on report writing.
