Course overview

This is Part 1 of 2 of the Engineering Internship courses. The aim of Part 1 is to equip learners with the skills necessary to undertake an industry-based research project. Both Parts 1 and 2 of these courses will equip learners with the skills necessary for engineering professionals to negotiate, plan, execute, and communicate the outcomes of an engineering research project within an industrial environment. Part 1 specifically entails commencing the comprehensive research project situated in an industry setting. It aims to fulfill the learning outcomes of both the Professional Engineer Career Preparation and Engineering Research Project A courses, merging practical industry exposure with academic research. Selection for this internship is merit-based, focusing on academic and interview performance.

Course learning outcomes

  • Formulate an engineering problem scope from a limited brief, drawing on collaboration with an academic advisor, published works and discipline-specific knowledge, that is suitable for the allocated time frame, and can be completed within the available resources.
  • Critically evaluate the state of the field and previous research by accessing, systematically searching, evaluating and referencing relevant and reliable published works
  • Identify, select and apply appropriate research methodologies to a complex engineering problem
  • Demonstrate the ability to work effectively and cooperatively as a member of a team to achieve project outcomes, contributing to team leadership as the situation requires, using effective self and/or team management, review and improvement practices.
  • Use and manage information in a professional context and be aware of common document identification, tracking and control procedures
  • Synthesise and effectively communicate the rationale, progress and outputs of an engineering project through written and oral means to both technical and nontechnical audiences.
