And - Applicants will only be considered for entry to this course if they can demonstrate that they have been (or will be) nominated by a project sponsor to mentor a team in Creating Innovative Engineering (ENGR90034) or equivalent.
Relevant experience is measured in full-time years but may be completed within a part-time equivalent timeframe.
