Practical Work

Experience gained while working in industry is a requirement of the BE (Hons) degree. You are required to complete two or three periods of employment totalling 120 days. Approval must be obtained from the College of Engineering prior to commencing employment. Further information is available on the College of Engineering website.

Exemption

Students may be given partial or total exemption from practical work training if they have completed an appropriate indentured apprenticeship or appropriate work for a NZ Certificate of Engineering. Applications for exemption must be made in writing to the College of Engineering Practical Work Coordinator before the end of the Second Professional Year.

Practical work reports

You must submit two satisfactory reports covering two different types of practical work, each of approximately 40 days, one normally being of 'suitable work experience', and one of professional 'approved practice'. It is preferable the reports also relate to two different employers. Further information is available on the College of Engineering website.

You can consult with either, Mrs Cheryl McNickel, College of Engineering Practical Work Coordinator or Dr Andrew Bainbridge-Smith, the Programme Director.
