FIT3153 - Research placement

Students on placement work full time in a defined, graduate level research and development role during a 22-week placement period at established partners of the Faculty of Information Technology research based learning program including major global companies, and leading Australian research and development institutions. Students are required to apply their knowledge, skills, professional attitudes and ethical behaviour in an industrial research context. They develop their communication, time management, self-reflection and teamwork skills, experience a professional research and development environment and obtain feedback from experienced supervisors on their performance.

Students will be supervised by an external placement supervisor with a Monash supervisor visiting three times to ensure that the placement is running smoothly. There will be mid- and end-placement evaluations based on written reports and oral presentations provided by the student.
