Description

During the Bachelor of Technology courses, students are required to aggregate at least 8 weeks of practical work experience located in an engineering technology environment. This will normally be undertaken through paid employment during vacations. At the end of each employment period students must submit a brief report, together with a certificate from the employer. Students will also be asked to present their professional development logs / professional portfolios before they will be granted a pass in this unit.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. Apply practical engineering skills, knowledge and techniques in an engineering work environment.
  2. Collaborate, communicate and conduct themselves professionally and ethically, in a professional engineering workplace.
  3. Evaluate significant activities and/or incidents that occur in an engineering workplace.
  4. Reflect upon personal application of learning and professional competencies in an engineering workplace and identify future professional development needs.

Unit Content

  1. Job organisation.
  2. Maintenance, safety and environmental procedures.
  3. Professional practices.
  4. Students should ideally be given an opportunity to observe: Human and industrial relations.

Learning Experience

Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU's LMS

Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.

Academic Integrity

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.

Breaches of academic integrity can include:

Plagiarism

Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).

Unauthorised collaboration (collusion)

Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).

Contract cheating

Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.

Cheating in an exam

Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.

Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.

ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.

All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.

Assessment Extension

In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.

Special Consideration

Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
