Engineering Professional Practice

Submit your assessment via UQ Blackboard

Write your four (4) reflections in line with the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competencies as per the Reflection Assessment Writing guidelines. You must submit your reflections on the SEAL reflections template (DOCX, 165.2 KB) View the Introduction to the SEAL Reflection Method Module to support your submission. 

Submit your reflections to Blackboard for marking. Refer to the  Reflections Assessment Submission guide for instructions on submitting your reflections. 

Students are reminded to familiarise themselves with the Student Integrity and Misconduct Policy and to ensure that all information submitted is accurate and all reflections are entirely the student’s own work, or sources are referenced appropriately. 

Marking of reflections is managed by Schools; therefore, we are unable to advise when your assessment will be marked. 

If you have submitted your assessment by the deadline, you can expect it to be marked with priority and in time for graduation checks. Time is allowed in the process to enable students to resubmit if needed to graduate on time. 

If your assessment has been marked with a Pass, it will display on Blackboard. If your assessment has been marked with a Fail, you will need to re-write your reflections and re-submit until you receive a Pass. Our team will clear your attempt in Blackboard to enable you to resubmit. 

Use of AI in EPP reflections
Updated Advice from 19 August 2025.

We expect these reflections to be the equivalent of conveying your reflection in an interview. It is your authentic voice we want to hear. A reflection that is clearly based on personal experience without being polished will pass but a polished generic response that could have been written by anyone will not.

UQ's Student Code of Conduct requires that all information submitted is accurate, and all reflections are entirely the student’s own work or sources are referenced appropriately. If you use AI or MT tools (e.g. ChatGPT, CoPilot, Grammarly etc), you must complete the AI/MT Acknowledgement Coversheet and submit it with your reflections, that includes your prompts in your authentic voice to allow your workflow to be evaluated. Unsatisfactory acknowledgment/referencing or failure to comply may constitute an investigation.
