Abstract
This project has mapped and explored local eportfolio use in engineering at several Australian universities. It gathered literature and online resources that point to the purpose and value of eportfolios in supporting and enabling student learning and improving pedagogy. It has established how ten Australian universities currently use eportfolios and has shown the value of a whole of program approach with a focus on career or professional competencies. The project highlighted groundswell support for a national approach to eportfolio use, not necessarily a uniformity in platforms within institutions, but support for the development of a portal where students can readily transition from university to the workplace. A current collaboration between 16 Australian universities and two professional bodies aims to achieve this goal.
