Engineering Practice Hurdle Requirement

Students enrolled in the Master of Industrial 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. ENGR90033 Internship subject.

3. 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.
