Outcome.Life and Space Tank CoLab have an exclusive partnership to bring you a premium internship experience and give you hands-on training to prepare you for your engineering career in Australia.
This 12-week internship program is suitable for anyone who is looking for an end-to-end product development and design experience. This program will involve you in everything from initial client meetings and idea generation to design and creation of a prototype to present to clients.
Project Brief
To design, engineer and prototype a patient lifting exoskeleton for use in aged care facilities.
The patient lifting exo-skeleton will be able to lift a patient from a seated or lying position into a chair or bed and vice versa.
This internship will develop student’s design thinking skills (human-centred design) and their technical engineering skills through the development and testing of prototypes.
Project Brief
To design, engineer and prototype an Internet of Things smart tablet dispenser. This medication dispenser must enable patients to take the right tablets at the right time of day. If a patient misses a dosage or if the dispenser is faulty, the dispenser will raise appropriate alerts.
This internship will develop student’s design thinking skills (human-centred design) and their technical engineering skills through the development and testing of prototypes.
Project Brief
To design, engineer and prototype a new lightweight folding wheelchair that can fold up to fit into the overhead luggage compartment of aeroplanes.
This project is a continuation of work already completed by Space Tank staff and 2020 Semester 1 Engineering Masters Students.
This internship will develop student’s design thinking skills (human-centred design) and their technical engineering skills through the development and testing of prototypes.
The internship is unpaid.
Unpaid internships are legal in Australia if they are part of a vocational placement as defined by the Fair Work Act 2009, which is why we started the Work Readiness Program. Most unpaid internships or voluntary work that is not for a registered organisation is illegal and can result in legal action.
Please see the Fair Work Australia website for more information on the rules around work experience and internships.
The Space Tank x Outcome.Life program is a learning experience, created for you to gain hands-on design experience in a safe, supportive and accessible way.
You can leverage this experience for future job applications and show your potential employers that you have real-life, design-driven project experience.
We believe that doing an internship can dramatically increase the chances of getting a paid job as it can differentiate you from your peers in a competitive graduate market.
Nationally, approximately 90% of people who complete an internship begin working within their field of study within 6 months.
We provide two certificates for completion of this internship.
When you complete the accredited online course via our Registered Training Organisation, Outcome Academy (RTO number 45564), you will receive a Statement of Attainment for the accredited unit, BSBIND201 Work effectively in a business environment.
At the conclusion of your internship, you will receive a Certificate of Completion. You can also use your plans, drawings and designs in your professional portfolio.
Prepare to enter the Australian workforce with technical skills, knowledge of cutting-edge engineering design and a sound understanding of product ideation and development.
