Inside the Engineeringand IT Building

MATTHEW CHILDSBachelor of Engineering (Civil), Bachelor of Business (due to graduate 2016)

I recently completed the UTS Hatchery pre-incubator program, which givesstudents an understanding of the startup sector. It was fantastic for developingprofessional networks, and Ive also gotten really involved with the startupculture in Sydney.

Ive now started a wine storage business called Wine Stash, which helps peoplestore, age and display their wine collections professionally. Ive already hit over$1 million in revenue in just over 12 months. The knowledge and skills I gainedfrom the Hatchery program have already been extremely beneficial to mybusiness, and the professional connections Ive formed will be very valuablethroughout my career.

SET YOURSELF APARTWITH AN INTERNSHIP

Q: OTHER UNIVERSITIES REQUIRE

STUDENTS TO COMPLETE THREEMONTHS EXPERIENCE, ISNT THATENOUGH?

A.Tackling complex engineering projectscan take a long time. The longer yourinternship, the greater exposure youllhave to the realities of the working worldand the measures taken to tackle thosecomplex projects.

At UTS, youll complete two internships,one as early as second year and the otherin fourth year.

> Internship 1Returning to university as a youngprofessional will inform your further study,and no doubt your approach to learningwill shift. Moving forward, youll knowwhich skills youll need to pick up and why.

> Internship 2When you do your second internship, youllbe close to graduating, so the experiencewill give you a valuable introductionto life after your degree. Many of ourstudents finish their degree by studyingpart-time and working part-time astrainee engineers, often with their secondinternship employer.

Q: THE UTS COURSE IS 5 YEARSLONG, WHILE OTHER UNIVERSITIESOFFER 4 YEAR ENGINEERINGCOURSES. WHY SHOULD I SIGN UPFOR THE LONGER DEGREE?

A.With our longer degree, you graduatewith a years experience, often 9 monthsmore than graduates from otheruniversities, giving you a competitiveedge. Further, many of our studentsfind employment through their final

internships, securing work before theyveeven graduated.

Internships often involve paid work, whichalso means that you could be earningwhile studying.

Graduating with a years industryexperience also means that you mightonly need two more years of engineeringwork experience to meet the engineeringexperience criteria required to apply forChartered Professional Engineer (CPEng).

> Our staff are here to help

Youre not on your own when looking forinternships. Dedicated staff are availableto assist you with resume writing,interview skills and job finding strategies.We maintain links with more than 1,000organisations offering both scholarshipsand internships, the latter being advertisedon our in-house portal, CareerHub. Wealso offer opportunities to find mentors,meet contacts, and build networks thatwill prove invaluable in your career.

> Engineering Practice and WorkIntegrated Learning subjectsAs part of the Diploma in ProfessionalEngineering Practice, youll completeEngineering Practice and Work IntegratedLearning subjects before, during and afteryour internships. Preparation subjectsassist students in finding an internship andlearning how to learn from experience.Work Integrated Learning subjects,comprising online modules developedin collaboration with leading industrypractitioners, enhance the industryexperience by adding breadth on topicssuch as professionalism, career pathwaysand the development of an online portfolio

of evidence of competence. The portfolio isuseful for securing future employment andalso for application for chartered status.

> Financial benefitsPay can vary a great deal as studentsdirectly negotiate their internshipconditions. In 2015, the average weeklysalary for UTS: Engineering students ontheir first placement was approximately$650, and $780 while on their secondplacement.

FEES

The two internship periods are a

component of the degree and have creditpoints attached to them. They will incur atuition fee. Further details regarding feesis available upon request.

IVAN PERREBachelor of Engineering (Electrical), Bachelor of Science (graduated 2006)Current Role: Electrical Engineer, London Underground

Internships: BP Solar

I think the most useful aspect of the degree is the focus on the industry. Engineering isa practical discipline and some things cant be taught, they need to be learnt on the field.The internship was invaluable in this regard.

In Ivans current role in the London underground he is involved mostly in designingelectrical systems and assurance. He is also involved throughout the entire lifecycle of aproject from feasibility through to handover, as well as a number of other projects whereinnovation is highly encouraged.

I am the lighting designer for projects at Liverpool St, Paddington and Charing Crossstations. Im using new lighting technologies and new ways of thinking to make innovativeand interesting designs.

MARC CARMICHAEL

Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical and Mechatronic), Diploma in EngineeringPractice (graduated 2008)Doctor of Philosophy (graduated 2013)

I have always enjoyed learning how technology works, and building machines thatdo fun and interesting things. Mechatronics at UTS was an obvious choice for me.By far the most useful aspects of my degree were the internships - they exposed meto what working in the industry is really like. After my bachelor degree, I was giventhe opportunity to do a PhD. If youre naturally curious and love to learn, workingas a researcher is a great career option. Im now a postdoctoral researcher in theUTS Centre for Autonomous Systems where I develop robots that help humans performphysical tasks.
