Engineering Practice Hurdle Requirement

Students enrolled in the master of engineering degree will need to satisfy the requirements of the Engineering Practice hurdle prior to being awarded the degree. Students will be introduced early in their degree to the online e-portfolio system as a way of documenting their attainment of graduate attributes which accord with University and professional accreditation standards. Students will keep a record of their stepwise attainment of these capabilities throughout their engineering studies at Melbourne. The artifacts recorded in the e-portfolio may include formal study elements, such as design reports, as well as reflections on extracurricular activities such as employment and volunteering activities.

Hurdle Requirement

In order to achieve the Engineering Practice Hurdle requirement, students will need to document the attainment of professional skills at an adequate level. This may include the successful completion of any of the following:

1. Skills Towards Employment Program (STEP)
2. The University’s Leaders in Community Award (LiCA) program.
3. ENGR90033 Internship subject.
4. CHEN90028 Industry Program subject
5. An agreed level of internship at an approved engineering firm (without receiving University credit)

Completion of the degree will not be approved until this requirement has been met.

The Master of Engineering consists of 300 points of study, typically across six semesters. This includes:

• 100 points of foundation study tailored to individual students who enter from non-engineering backgrounds and;
• 200 points, including at least one 25-point project completed in the final year of study, of mainly engineering discipline specific study at the level of depth required to practice as a professional engineer upon graduation.

See each specialisation for the core (compulsory) and elective subject requirements.
