Graduate engineering roles

Build the foundations, methods and work samples used in graduate engineering roles roles.

Common engineering preparation; add discipline-specific study and check eligibility.

L0

Know the role

  1. Read a role through its responsibilitiesRequired

    Translate a role description into three observable learning goals.

L1

Build foundations

  1. Spreadsheet formulas and reconciliationRequired

    Build a sourced calculation table with an independent check.

  2. Statistics, samples and uncertaintyOptional

    Describe a distribution and its limits of inference.

  3. Engineering disciplines and role scopeRequired

    Independently: Identify civil, mechanical, electrical or systems preparation from responsibilities.

  4. Units, dimensions and estimationRequired

    Independently: Check dimensions and orders of magnitude in five calculations.

L2

Develop core skills

  1. Discipline foundations and modelsRequired

    Independently: Choose a mechanics or circuits problem for the target discipline and state assumptions.

  2. Requirements and constraintsRequired

    Independently: Write functional, performance, environmental and verification requirements.

  3. Verification and measurementRequired

    Independently: Define a test method, units and error sources for a fictional design.

L3

Practise scenarios

  1. Research, citation and argumentRequired

    Write a sourced analytical paragraph with limitations.

  2. Engineering risk and changeRequired

    Independently: Document failure scenarios, impacts and design changes.

  3. Technical reporting and handoverOptional

    Independently: Document objectives, diagrams, calculations, verification and limits.

L4

Build a work sample

  1. Present an inspectable work sampleRequired

    Submit a work sample with method, results and reflection.

Try a practice set

Calculations and choices receive immediate checks. Review open responses yourself against the rubric. All examples are educational.

1. How many N are in 2.5 kN?
2. What follows a change in design inputs?
3. After the engineering risk and change task, state one assumption, one supporting fact and one condition that would change your conclusion.

Engineering requirements and verification record

For this engineering requirements and verification record, bound the problem to one educational scenario. List inputs and assumptions, preserve calculations and distinguish findings from missing evidence.

Define the question, scope and success criteria of this engineering requirements and verification record.

Record data, source links, dates, units and assumptions.

Write reproducible steps with calculations, evidence or a process map.

Separate observations, interpretation and recommendations.

List unknowns, validation steps and conditions that change the conclusion.
