Engineering resources
All the resources an engineering student needs, including unit offerings, placement info and library guides.
What to enrol in
You'll need to follow a course structure or a personalised student plan to enrol. Find out which one is right for you and where you can access it.
Units offered this semester
You'll find the official Engineering curriculum catalogue in the Federation University Handbook. Use it to find out which units are on offer for each semester and location.
You can also view the course rules to see how many and what type of units are needed to finish your course.
Library subject guides
Our librarians have made researching easier by grouping all of your discipline resources together (including ebooks, textbooks, websites and free image libraries). You'll also find handy search and referencing tips.
Placement
Placement means working in industry. It gives you the chance to apply your knowledge in real situations – great preparation for being in the workforce.
Co-op placements are usually undertaken from second year. The timing of yours will depend on your course structure and the pre-requisites required. For most courses, you'll need to complete 120 credit points, or 105 credit points plus your Professional Identity unit, before you start your placement. It's okay to complete your placement earlier than it appears in your course structure.
Once you’re enrolled in your course, an InPlace account will be created for you. You can log in using your student ID and Federation password. Start exploring placement opportunities on the portal as soon as you can.
You're responsible for applying for placements that are aligned with your area of study and advertised on InPlace. It's essential to start early, so you can lock in your preferred placement.
Use our resources to prepare and complete your application.
We've got a team of experts supporting your placement. If you need help, contact us on cooperativeplacement@federation.edu.au.
