What do I need to do?
If you are a Bachelor of Engineering or Master of Professional Engineering student at Monash Clayton then you need to complete your CPD unit (ENG0001/ENG0003) in order to graduate.
Learning outcomes for the CPD unit can be found in the Monash University Handbook: ENG0001 is the unit code for Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) students and ENG0003 is the unit code for Master of Professional Engineering.
Undergraduate students will be prompted to enrol in the CPD unit (ENG0001) on WES with the first part of their FYP. Master of Professional Engineering students will be prompted to enrol in ENG0003 at the start of their degree.
Note that your CPD is not due until the semester you are due to course-complete. So even though you are enrolled in the CPD unit on WES, you will not be enrolled in the CPD unit on Moodle until your final semester of study.
This short 13 minute video explains what you will need to do to complete your CPD:
There are three main components to completing your CPD requirement:
- Build your CPD experiences hours: complete a minimum of 420 hours of professional practice experiences outside the classroom
- Submission 1 - Student Futures reflections: create a written record detailing how your experiences have helped you develop your employability skills
- Submission 2 - CPD assessment questions: answer 6 assessment questions reflecting on the key Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies
Your CPD is due by 10:00am on the Monday of Week 5 of your final semester of units
You will find all the details about completing each component in the webpages below:
- Build your CPD experiences hours
- Submission 1: Student Futures reflections
- Submission 2: CPD assessment questions
If you still have questions please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions and Where to get help page.
All students are also invited to attend CPD Drop-in sessions.
These sessions are held each semester and the dates and times advertised to students via email and the CPD webpage. Academic and administrative staff will be available to answer your questions about how to use Student Futures, your assessment piece and answer any other queries you may have about your CPD journey.
There will be severe penalties for anyone caught falsifying claims on their CPD. Failure to supply accurate and honest details about the activities you have attended, the hours you spent at those activities, the skills you have developed, the experiences you were exposed to, or accurate contact details and supporting documentation for verification purposes, would put your graduation in jeopardy if you were suspended or excluded from the university. Monash University’s policy on Academic Integrity applies in each of those instances, and for all CPD submissions. Furthermore, as a future Engineer, you should be upholding the Engineers Australia Stage 1 competency of ethical conduct and personal accountability.
