Twelve weeks of suitable full-time employment, a requirement that applies to all BE degrees throughout Australia. The training has two purposes:

1. to expose the student to the workplace and workplace issues (such as human and industrial relations, job organisation, maintenance, safety and environmental issues).
2. to provide direct insight into professional engineering practice.

It is the student's responsibility to obtain the employment, although the Department of Engineering will assist in providing lists of people to contact.

As a general rule, the ideal would be four weeks in any sort of employment; four weeks in employment in a technical industry of some kind; and four weeks of work with engineering staff in an engineering environment (preferably working with professional engineers). Minor variations of this scheme may be acceptable, but at least a reasonable portion must be within an engineering environment.

Students are required to submit reports on their work experience and will satisfy the requirements when their portfolio is acceptable to the Head of Engineering.
