Unit Description and General Aims
Demonstrable practical hands-on work is a requirement of many professional engineering societies and accreditation agencies around the work and is an essential component of the EIT Master of Engineering program.
EIT Master of Engineering students are required to complete or obtain, either; recognition of prior learning or exemption for, each of the four specialised Bachelor of Science Hands-on Workshops (BXX001-004C) and the specialised Master of Engineering Professional Practice Workshop (MXX001); which has engineering student project teams working on a discipline-related comprehensive industrial case study.
Students who already possess significant industrial experience in their engineering discipline of study may apply for recognition of prior learning to meet this requirement. Master’s students who possess an accord-recognised undergraduate qualification are exempt from the first four workshops.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this Unit, students are expected to be able to:
MXX001:
