Course features

Work based learning (placement) requirements

Compulsory placements (Work Based Learning)
During this course, you will participate in one or more supervised Work Based Learning (WBL) placements designed to allow you to practice newly acquired skills, behaviours and knowledge while integrating theory with practice. The placements will immerse you in professional work culture, enabling you to develop and further enhance your skills. WBL provides you with the opportunity to gain valuable industry experience at one or more of our local, interstate or international industry partners or agencies. WBL placements will generally be arranged by the College based Placements Operation Team or Experiential Learning Team at La Trobe University. The number of hours undertaken can vary considerably, depending on the requirements of the course. Students may incur additional costs and it may be necessary to travel or relocate to complete a specific placement. Please refer to the individual subject entries for more information.

Students not undertaking the Work Integrated Learning subjects (EMS4WLA and EMS4WLB) are required to complete at least 12 weeks certified practical experience under the guidance of an experienced engineer before being deemed to have completed the course and therefore qualify to graduate. This is preferably undertaken during the annual vacation following the third year of the course but may be done at the conclusion of the final year. International students must undertake their experience during the annual vacation following the third year. It may be done at the conclusion of final year but must be completed before the student's visa expiry date. Visa expiry dates may not be extended for the sole purpose of completing practical experience. International applicants are advised to ensure they have the correct visa to undertake this work placement.

Career outcomes

You could work in a wide range of sectors, such as aerospace, defence, natural resources, renewable energy, oil, gas, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, mining or electronics.

Roles may include:

  • Data-driven quality controller
    • Oversee the manufacturing of products to ensure quality and standards are maintained.
  • Logistician
    • Analyse and manage organisational supply chains from supplier to consumer.
  • Medical technology designer
    • Support the research and development of medical applications, treatments or diagnostic technologies.
  • Robotics engineer
    • Construct the plans and processes to build robots and robotic systems.

Professional recognition

The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Industrial) is accredited by Engineers Australia (EA). Professional membership may require an application to the professional body and may have additional or ongoing requirements beyond the completion of the degree. Please contact the relevant professional body for details.
