Frequently asked questions

Which logbook should I use?

Course	Logbook
Bachelor of Technology	White Logbook
Bachelor of Engineering	Yellow Logbook Blue Logbook* please refer to your school’s requirement
Double Degree Engineering	Yellow Logbook Blue Logbook* please refer to your school’s requirement
Master of Professional Engineering	Yellow Logbook Blue Logbook* please refer to your school’s requirement

* Students who began their studies in the Bachelor of Engineering (single or double degree) or Master of Professional Engineering at Curtin in Semester 2, 2017 or later must use the yellow logbook.

What are the submission guidelines for my logbook?

Area of study	Submission Guidelines
Bachelor of Technology	Letter(s) from employer Work reflective report of 320 hours of completed work experience as per EPEP Category (inclusive of 16 hours of PRES) White logbook
Electrical Engineering (UG + PG)	Letter(s) from employer Logbook(s) as below If you have completed the work experience prior 1 August 2017 Blue Logbook 3 pages summary report of 480 hours of engineering work experience completed If you have completed the work experience after 1 August 2017 Yellow Logbook Work reflective report of 480 hours of completed work experience as per EPEP Category (inclusive of 16 hours of PRES)
Civil, Mechanical, Mechatronic & Industrial & Systems Engineering (UG+PG)	Letter(s) from employer Logbook as below If you are admitted from Semester 2 2017 Yellow Logbook Work reflective report of 480 hours of completed work experience as per EPEP Category (inclusive of 16 hours of PRES) If you are admitted before Semester 2 2017 Blue Logbook 12 pages of work experience report (Engineering hours only) Or Yellow logbook Work reflective report of 480 hours of completed work experience as per EPEP Category (inclusive of 16 hours of PRES)
WASM-MECE (UG + PG) – Petroleum, Chemical, Mining and Metallurgical Engineering	Letter(s) from employer Logbook as below If you are admitted from Semester 2 2017 Yellow Logbook Work reflective report of 480 hours of completed work experience as per EPEP Category (inclusive of 16 hours of PRES) If you are admitted before Semester 2 2017 Blue Logbook 12 pages of work experience report (Engineering hours only) Or Yellow logbook Work reflective report of 480 hours of completed work experience as per EPEP Category (inclusive of 16 hours of PRES)

What is the difference between the white logbook and yellow/blue logbook?

The white logbook is used if you are enrolled in a Bachelor of Technology.

The yellow / blue logbook is used if you are enrolled in a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) or Master of Professional Engineering (incl. double degrees).

What is the difference between the yellow logbook and blue logbook?

Electrical Engineering Students

If you have completed your work experience before 1 August 2017, you may follow the blue logbook submission guidelines for that particular work experience.

For all work experience completed after 1 August 2017, you are required to follow the yellow logbook submission guidelines.

Civil, Mechanical, Mechatronic and Industrial & Systems Engineering students

If you are admitted before Semester 2 2017, you can complete either the yellow or blue logbook. However if you were admitted after Semester 2 2017, you must use the yellow logbook only.

Chemical, Metallurgical, Mining and Petroleum Engineering students

If you were admitted before Semester 2 2017, you can complete either the yellow or blue logbook. If you were admitted after Semester 2 2017, you must use the yellow logbook only.

How many hours do I need for the work experience?

Bachelor of Technology students are required to complete 320 hours (inclusive of 16 weighted hours of PRES)

Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) and Master of Professional Engineering students are required to complete 480 hours (inclusive of 16 weighted hours of PRES).

Can I claim work from a non-engineering field, i.e. petrol station be counted?

Yes, you may include such work experience as part of your EPEP Logbook hours. You can claim a maximum of 25% of your total hours under the GEN category.

For example, a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) student can claim up to 120 hours in a non-engineering field. (0.25 x 480 hrs = 120 hrs).

Please note that supporting documents will be required when claiming this EPEP component.

Can I submit my logbook if I’ve completed my work experience but not graduating this semester?

Generally, you should submit your EPEP Logbook the semester you are graduating. Please email your school logbook team (above) if you want to request an early submission.

What is classed as VAC/ENG/TECH?

Please refer to page 4 and 5 of your respective logbook.

Can I complete my logbook with zero hours supervised by an engineer?

No, you will need to complete a certain portion of your hours in the ‘ENG’ category under the supervision of a qualified engineer. Please review the logbook matrix to determine the claim categories for your hours.

Do my hours need to be in the same area as those of my study?

No, you can claim work experience if you are exposed to fields of engineering that do not fall under your major.

For example, if you are studying Civil Engineering, but have work experience in the Mechanical Engineering field, you can claim those hours for your EPEP Logbook.

Top reasons why Logbooks are rejected?

Each semester, a portion of logbook submissions are not approved and students are asked to provide more information or make revisions to their documents. To improve the likelihood that your submission will be accepted the first time, here is a list of the top reasons why logbooks are rejected or delayed:

Missing documents – not submitting all the required evidence, especially for part-time jobs, or not submitting the logbook itself.
Confirmation letters or payroll summaries that do not state the total number of hours.
Engineering reports that are too short – if you are claiming, say, 400 hours of ENG experience, you need to write 350×(400/40) to 500×(400/40) = 3500 to 5000 words.
Using the wrong categories for activities, or incorrectly applying the weighting factors and category limits (most common for PROF activities—please check first: Note 7).
Engineering reports that are purely technical, lacking any personal reflection on the experiences (please follow the Reflective Report Writing Guidelines: Note 2).
Engineering reports that do not say what you personally did (“I measured …”, “I attended …”), just stating how the business operates or what happens in each section.
For engineering confirmation letters, not stating the student’s report has been read and is accurate.
Short-form reports that are too long (>200 words) or not using the standard template.
Filling in a separate row for each week of a block of vacation work, rather than a single row for the whole block.
Providing 20+ payroll statements, rather than a payroll summary or company letter.

How do I email my logbook school?
