Engineers Australia is excited to announce the launch of five new Engineering Virtual Work Experience modules, exclusively for student engineers!
What is virtual work experience?
The virtual work experiences are real world scenarios designed to test and develop a student’s professional skills, bridging the gap between university theory and working practice. They will get the opportunity to learn firsthand the practical aspects of various engineering roles and how they can apply theoretical learning in the workplace. Students can get experience to enhance their resumes and gain some understanding of the practical application of their studies.
Who can access the virtual work experience modules?
The virtual work experience modules are specifically for student members of Engineers Australia!
The virtual work experience modules are housed on the Engineers Australia Jobs Board platform and only Engineers Australia student members with a valid EA ID will be able to access the virtual work experience modules.
If you're an Engineering student who is not yet a member of Engineers Australia but would like to access the virtual work experience modules, you will able to sign up for a FREE student membership here: https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/membership
How many different virtual work experience modules are currently available?
There are now eighteen virtual work experiences that have been developed, that cover the following engineering disciplines:
- Cost Engineering- new
- Fire Safety Engineering- new
- Nuclear Engineering- new
- Risk Engineering- new
- Structural Engineering- new
- Aerospace Engineering
- Biomedical Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Construction Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Mechatronics Engineering
- Mining Engineering
- Software Engineering
- Systems Engineering
- Telecommunications Engineering
- Water Engineering
Each virtual work experience is targeted at the university level, delivered 100% online and takes between 2 to 5 hours to complete. The modules do not need to be completed in one sitting, it is possible to save progress and return to complete the module at another time.
