As a Bachelor of Engineering Technology student, you will integrate problem-solving, teamwork and communications skills to develop and demonstrate technical capabilities in your chosen field of Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Resource Systems or Aircraft Maintenance Engineering. This CQUniversity Engineering course incorporates project-based learning, allowing you to learn in context and in formal and informal learning environments such as workshops, classes, and project studios. You will learn teamwork and problem-solving skills alongside technical content in exciting real-world engineering contexts that promote sustainable development.
The course consists of a common first year, after which you will select your Major in either Civil Engineering (Structural or Municipal Transportation), Electrical Engineering (Electrical Control or Electrical Power), Mechanical Engineering (Design or Energy), Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Avionics or Mechanical), or Resource Systems (Automation or Data Science).
Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Resource Systems Majors of this course are available online, allowing you the flexibility to study if you are in a remote location or working and cannot attend face-to-face classes. If you are studying online, you will participate in intensive classes associated with some units in the course to develop practical skills and network with staff and students. You will also interact with staff and students via online unit websites.
To enter the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Majors, students must have already completed a Diploma of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Avionics or Mechanical) at Aviation Australia’s Brisbane campus, or an equivalent qualification approved by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Upon completing the Diploma, students receive 1.5 years of advanced standing towards the corresponding Aircraft Maintenance Major in this course. The final 1.5 years of the Aircraft Maintenance Majors are available on-campus at Aviation Australia Brisbane and online.
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology is an alternative entry pathway for engineering Honours courses. Students in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Resource Systems Majors study many of the same units as CC31 Bachelor of Engineering students but in a specialised discipline area.
Bachelor of Engineering Technology graduates enjoy a wide variety of challenging career options across a range of industries and government sectors. As an Engineering Technologist you will apply your problem-solving skills and knowledge of scientific fundamentals to the design, testing, inspection, adaptation, commissioning, management or operation of on-site equipment, plant and sustainable systems.
Engineering Technologists, having specialised in one of the disciplines of civil (structural), civil (municipal/transportation), mechanical (process), mechanical (energy), mechanical (design), electrical (electrical power) or electrical (control), find employment in national and international public and private industry sectors including the energy, transportation, manufacturing, process, construction, mining and education industries.
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology course is based on the project-based learning philosophy which offers the opportunity to learn in context. This approach is designed to produce work-ready graduates with industry-relevant skills.

Students are also encouraged to create a personalised planner if obtaining credit, advance standing or studying at an alternate pace. The Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle includes instructions for obtaining your personalised course planner.
Mobility and Exchange
This course supports overseas study through a short-term mobility practicum as part of the elective ENEG13001 Humanitarian Engineering Project or a semester exchange experience at an approved overseas institution. The Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle includes current mobility and exchange programs, application instructions and staff contacts for inquiries.
Cadetships
Flexible and online course delivery options provide support for working students. The CQUniversity Engineering Cadetship model allows students to enter the engineering workforce from their first year of study. Cadets can extend their learning by directly applying new knowledge to workplace scenarios and learning from working with engineers and associates. All cadets are paid, and many are also offered full sponsorship of course tuition fees. Cadetship opportunities are posted on the CQUniversity Engineering Cadetships Website.
Course Articulation
The undergraduate engineering courses include a common foundation year, allowing students to articulate between courses with minimal or no additional study should their circumstances or career aspirations change. Students may also change their major during their first year of study. The Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle contains instructions and staff contacts for inquiries.
High School Course Pathways
Students can consider taking any of the several pathways designed to ease their transition into the course. Pathways for high school graduates commence in Year 11 and include reduced mathematics units to study by completing Mathematical Methods, early study of engineering units while at high school through CQUniversity’s Start Uni Now (SUN) program, and credit for other units by completing Engineering General and/or Design General with extra-curricular activities if supported at high school. Prospective students can request further information on engineering course pathways by emailing our college professional team SETAdmin@cqu.edu.au).
Mature-age Course Pathways
Mature-age students who do not meet the course entry requirements should contact our college professional team (SETAdmin@cqu.edu.au) to explore alternate pathways before committing to CQUniversity’s Skills for Tertiary Education Preparation Studies (STEPS) program.
Distinction
The distinction level is determined by the grade point average (GPA) of the first attempts of all second- and third-level units with numerical codes 12### or 13###. To be eligible for distinction, students must study at least 72 credit units at CQUniversity and achieve an overall GPA of at least 5.00.
Engineering Professional Practice
This course includes mandatory professional practice, as explained in the handbook.
Additional entry requirements
Students must have a Diploma of Aircraft Maintenance to study either of the two Aircraft Maintenance Majors. This Diploma will award 1.5 years of advanced standing, enabling course completion in 1.5 years of full-time study.
