Syllabus
This unit explores the concept of professional practice as it relates to the diverse work practitioners of the Built Environment produce, and the processes by which they produce it. The unit covers the aspirations and practicalities of professional operation and considers contemporary demands for new levels of professionalism that address emergent global transformations and challenges. Through industry, community and professional bodies' engagement students will develop an understanding of the nuances of professional identity and practice as they relate to the various disciplines of the Built Environment; gaining an understanding of required knowledge and expertise and the way in which these are applied within the diverse demands of professional practice.
Methodologically, students will examine the diverse employment opportunities available to them, including creative and entrepreneurial approaches to professional employment, and will start their career awareness and planning through approaches such as five year plans and eportfolios.

1. Identify the personal skills, capabilities and knowledge necessary to meet the work standards expected by the built environment professions in the workplace;
