Course Overview
This course has a strong emphasis on engineering practice and will provide you an opportunity to develop further skills and knowledge either in your current engineering discipline or in related discipline areas while at the same time developing your employability skills such as communication and teamwork.
You will commence your study with a unit that introduces you to Australian engineering practice and three project units that will provide you the opportunity to apply discipline knowledge and skills in an authentic project, in some cases with an industry mentor.
You will then select 24 credit points of units from topics including sustainability, mining, project management and rail. Some students may choose to pursue an internship opportunity.
Finally, you will complete a major research project that will demonstrate your ability to work as a professional engineer.
For Australian students, this course is available in distance mode, giving you flexibility to study even if working or living in a remote location.
Career Information
This course enables you to be recognised as a graduate professional engineer in Australia. As such, you will have career opportunities in a wide range of areas including the infrastructure, resources and energy sectors.
During your study, you will have opportunities to develop professional skills such as teamwork and communication at the same time as you are applying and further developing the theoretical knowledge you gained in your undergraduate degree. The authentic engineering projects, some with industry mentors, will help to prepare you for engineering practice.
Possessing a Masters qualification will further enhance your employability.

Not all units are offered at each campus location or every term. The starting term and location of your enrolment could restrict the elective options available to you. You will be counselled about the elective options at the time of your enrolment at the University.
Choice of Major
The purpose of this degree is to enable students to develop further skills and knowledge in their current Engineering discipline. There are strict pre-requisite requirements for each unit. Students may only be able to meet the pre-requisites for units in a major that is their current discipline.
Any students wishing to change to a different Engineering discipline should contact the Course Advice Team to discuss options: 13 CQUni (13 27 86) http://handbook.cqu.edu.au/eforms/index (‘Ask a Course Advisor’ e-form).
Availability of Civil Major
The Civil major is only available at the Rockhampton and Melbourne Campuses and in Mixed Mode (Online). Hence the Civil units are only delivered on these campuses. For domestic students from Perth, you also have the option of enrolling in Mixed Mode. If you need further information regarding this, please contact the Head of Course Postgraduate Engineering.
Work Experience/Internship
It is a mandatory accreditation requirement that students enrolled in CV82 demonstrate 480 hours engineering practice. This comprises of 360 hours of internship in an engineering organisation that is closely aligned to their discipline major and 120 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Students may enroll in ENEP20001 Internship Work Experience upon completing a minimum of 36 credit points in the course. Students are encouraged to undertake a 12-week full-time internship for 4 days per week. The internship allows the student to integrate their theoretical knowledge with industry practices and develop new engineering practice skills and knowledge.
The School of Engineering and Technology organises internships for all students including self-sourced internships; and University-sourced internships through industry connections and University-affiliated internship providers. The self-sourced internship will be assessed by the school's Work Integrated Learning (WIL) team for its appropriateness. Placements may be unpaid, paid or a nominal financial amount may be awarded by your host in the form of a stipend.
Students may seek recognition of previous work experience, should they possess so, by providing relevant documentary evidence.
For further information or instructions, please contact the school's WIL team.
Credit for Prior Learning
Credit cannot be granted towards ENEP20001 Internship Work Experience unless an equivalent Engineering Work Experience unit has been completed as part of an accredited higher education post graduate Engineering Degree.
Applicants with AQF 8 - AQF 9 level Honours or Postgraduate qualifications or study completed in a cognate discipline may be eligible for advanced standing.
Note: Cognate discipline is sequence of study in Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
Please refer to the Credit For Prior Learning website at http://www.cqu.edu.au/credittransfer for further details on the guidelines and application process or contact the Academic Pathways Team at credit@cqu.edu.au.
