These are the defined graduate attributes of this program.

This program develops skills and knowledge to work at an engineering technologist/business manager level. The double degree program equips you to apply knowledge and skills in analysis, scientific, technological and business administration principles and to exhibit management skills and social responsibility to existing and new technology and business areas. See the CQU Glossary for definition of a double degree, available from http://www.cqu.edu.au/glossary.

This program is aimed at the education of engineering technologists/business managers in one of eight engineering specialisations in one of three disciplines:

• Civil
• Electrical
  • Control and Instrumentation
  • Electronics and Communication
  • Power and Machines
• Mechanical

Combined with a Bachelor of Business degree. The Business program requires students to complete the 6 core courses in the Bachelor of Business and 6 general business electives. Students are able to use the 6 business electives to gain greater depth in a business discipline, or to gain breadth by including courses across the business disciplines.

Course requirements

Students must complete 192 units of credit. In Business courses, students will complete 36 units of credit in core courses and 36 units of credit in electives. In Engineering they will complete 84 units of credit in core engineering courses and 36 units of credit in their engineering specialisation.
