- Description
- Australian engineering degrees accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of Professional Engineer are required to include the equivalent of 12 weeks of exposure to professional practice. The landscape for this exposure has changed over the past five years with undergraduates finding it increasingly difficult to source the traditional 12 week engineering placement, a changing regulatory environment, and an increased emphasis on constructively aligned learning. This paper presents the salient outcomes from an ACED project funded to explore factors affecting the design of exposure to professional practice activities. It clarifies obligations through the lens of Fair Work Australia, the Higher Education Standards Framework (HESF), and Engineers Australia.
