Engineering Practice Hurdle
Engineering Practice Hurdle (EPH) is a compulsory component of the Master of Engineering degree which enables you to build your professional skills ahead of graduation.
Completing the Engineering Practice Hurdle is a compulsory and important step to ensure that a student completing any one of our Master of Engineering degrees will be ready to enter the workforce. This is an opportunity to learn outside the classroom, develop employability skills and grow industry networks prior to graduation.
You will need to undertake one of the following options whilst you are enrolled into your course in order to be eligible to graduate. You should arrange to attend an Engineering Practice Hurdle session in your first semester, to further understand your timeline for your chosen option.
You may choose between these options to complete your Engineering Practice Hurdle requirement:
-
Internships

-
Not-for-Credit Internships
An opportunity to undertake paid work in your industry and enhance your career readiness.
