Vacation Employment

Vacation employment is NO LONGER a requirement for the award of the BE in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering. However, students who do satisfactorily complete vacation work will be issued with a certificate by the Dean of the Melbourne School of Engineer.

Twelve weeks of approved vacation work should be in an area relevant to engineering, and be performed under the supervision of a qualified engineer. It may be completed in Australia or overseas. The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering should be informed of the length and nature of any completed vacation employment.

The Melbourne School of Engineer may provide information if possible about arranging vacation employment. Some assistance can be obtained from the University Careers Office.
