Introduction
My Name is XXX YYY currently undertaking a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering at
University of Technology Sydney. I am a holder of Bachelor of Technology Degree in Civil
Engineering. After graduating with my bachelor degree, I got a job as an intern engineer at a
local construction firm. After working for three months, I was employed as a graduate civil
engineer by the same company. This position gave me an opportunity to work on a 20 km road
construction project that involved both local and international stakeholders. My main role in the
project was to develop and oversee implementation of stakeholder engagement plan (SEP). The
role incorporates creating awareness about stakeholder engagement, identifying all stakeholders
involved in and affected by the project, establish the most appropriate approaches of engaging
and managing stakeholders, developing methods of enhancing effective communication,
cooperation and collaboration of stakeholders, and creating innovative problem solving
techniques.
The main objective of this personal reflection is to understand the expectations of a master’s
degree in civil engineering graduate, assess my current attainment level of the graduate attribute
of E (communication and coordination), and to identify any knowledge and skills gap that need
to be filled and develop a plan on how to fill them so as to improve my overall competency in the
future.
