In this section, describe in detail what you did, rather than just copying and pasting your duties and responsibilities.

It is not sufficient to state in this section “See my attached report”. If you wrote a report during your work experience, you can include it in the Appendix. However in Section 3.3 of your ENGN3100 report you must provide a technical description of the work.

How my experiences helped me work towards the standards of a professional engineer.

The standards identified by Engineers Australia are listed on the ENGN3100 WebCT report site

Note: -

This is the most important section of the report.

If you write less than 1 page for this section, your report will be marked as automatic reject and you will be asked to rewrite and resubmit the report.

-

It is highly desirable that you address each sub-competency and demonstrate how your work experience helped you to achieve that sub-competency.

-

If you are unable to demonstrate any specific sub-competency it is fine as long as overall you can clearly demonstrate that you meet the three Stage 1 Competencies for graduate engineers (PE1 Knowledge Base, PE2 Engineering Ability and PE3 Professional Attributes).

This part of the report is intended as a reflective writing exercise.
