ESIPS
Undertake a high-level investigative project for industry through the Engineering Sydney Industry Placement Scholarship
,
Our Engineering Sydney Industry Placement Scholarship (ESIPS) is designed to enrich your learning through a six-month on-the-job experience as part of an industry team under the guidance of an industry mentor and academic supervisor.
The ESIPS program is designed to place our top students studying either anÌýundergraduate engineering or advanced computing degree*Ìýor aÌýMaster of Professional EngineeringÌýwithin leading industry companies.
Our goal is to enrich the student’s learning experience by immersing them in industry, whilst offering companies the opportunity to work with talented young minds at an early stage in their career.
Over the course of a six-month full-time industry placement, each student involved in the program undertakes a high-level investigative project, based on the needs of their partner organisation. The outcomes of this project will ultimately be presented to the partner organisation.
This industry placement also meets fourth-year course requirements, providing participating students with valuable work experience and six-months credit towards the completion of their engineering degree with no additional time added.Ìý
