In this unit, students will complete an internship with a host organisation that is relevant to their academic studies. They will undertake meaningful work that will enable them to apply Aviation-related disciplinary knowledge and skills. The opportunity will enable students to develop their professional capabilities and enhance their familiarity with working environments. Critical to the success in this unit is for students to produce a portfolio against CLOs, any previous learning from other units and integrate them with real-world experience. Students must complete a minimum of 360 hours of work with a host organisation. The students themselves will secure internships to meet the CLO. Any opportunities secured by students will be vetted to ensure they provide a suitable learning experience. Terms of payment, if any, will be negotiated on an individual basis. As this unit focuses on the personal and professional development of the individual, no Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) will be considered for this unit. The WIL component will be supplemented with weekly seminars and a mentorship by one of the Aviation academics.
Students are required to complete 120 credit points before enrolling in this unit.
In this unit, students will be developing the following capabilities:
All learning experiences are delivered online and attendance at scheduled virtual classes is expected.
On-campus attendance at scheduled classes is expected.
This is an Assessment Unit. Assessment Units are where students integrate, apply and demonstrate their learning from Learning Units.
Online lectures and mentorship by Aviation academics. Students will spend the remaining time embedded in an organisation as part of their WIL experience.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and all sources used must be correctly referenced, including artificial intelligence tools.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including a suspension or an expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
