CG21 - Bachelor of Engineering Technology

Overview

Compulsory Residential School

Some units in this course require you to attend a compulsory Residential School or Work Integrated Learning. Please see Course Features in the Getting Started tab for further information.

Course Overview

As a Bachelor of Engineering Technology student, you will develop and demonstrate technical engineering knowledge and skills in civil engineering, electrical engineering or mechanical engineering, integrating problem-solving, teamwork and communication skills. This CQUniversity engineering program incorporates Project Based Learning, providing you the opportunity to learn in context, in formal and informal learning environments such as workshops, classes and project studios. Teamwork and problem solving skills are learned alongside technical content in exciting real-world engineering contexts.

The program consists of a common first level after which students select their major in either civil engineering (structural or municipal transportation), electrical engineering (electrical control or electrical power) or mechanical engineering (design, energy or process).

This program is available in distance mode, allowing students the flexibility to study if they are in a remote location or if they are working and cannot attend face-to-face classes. Distance students will attend residential schols associated with some courses in the program in order to develop practical skills and to network with staff and students in the program. They will also interact with staff and students via online course websites.

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology may also be used as an alternative entry path into the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). Bachelor of Engineering Technology students study many of the same courses as Bachelor of Engineering students but in a narrower discipline area.

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.
