Description Mentored Practice offers a program of professionally oriented activities that refine planning for graduate destinations in the design, innovation and manufacturing industries and in particular new product development. Students will focus on career and practical industry attributes, and attend design industry seminars that directly influence their major project, honours thesis, or industrial design capstone project from a strategic and professional practice perspective. This unit assists students on preparing a strategic early career plan which includes a personal portfolio of works with tips on how to commercialise their current academic project, observations and analysis of current design industry practice, and a self-directed practical placement for up to 70 hours.
