Career Information

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.

More Details

Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle

All students should regularly check the Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle for the latest information, including key staff contacts, intensive class schedules, student mobility and exchange opportunities, cadetships and scholarships, social events and student societies, and final-year project advice.

Course Planners

Course planners are online for each major, full-time or part-time study option, and commencing term. 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.
