Students should have a mathematical knowledge equal to a passing grade in Queensland Maths B or an interstate or TAFE equivalent. If you do not have this requirement Transition Maths 2 is deemed equivalent to Maths B. You may also need to do Transition Maths 1 before commencing Transition Maths 2. You can contact the CQUniversity Maths Learning Centre to discuss your previous maths history to determine if you need to do both Transition Maths 1 and 2.

Students seeking admission to this program must complete an Academic IELTS test and attain an overall score of 6.5, with no individual band score less than 6.0, to meet the requirements for admission to this program.

Engineering students will be eligible for honours according to the University's 'Weighted Grade Point Average' (WGPA) honours calculation rules, except that third class honours will not be awarded, on the following basis:

The WGPA of a student's results over the first three years of the program (144uc) must be at least 5.00 to be eligible for honours. Failure to meet this WGPA will result in students not being eligible for the award of honours, regardless of their performance in the required 48uc of engineering course study (as detailed below) for honours calculation.

In all cases for the calculation of WGPA, a student's result in their first attempt at a course will be used for the GPA calculation.

 

Courses comprising honours calculation:

 

Electrical:

Mechanical:

Civil:

1.  A Bachelor of Engineering (Co-op) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Engineering) student must pass all program courses in the first three terms of the program to be eligible for progression in the program and acceptance into the first industry work experience placement.

2.  A Bachelor of Engineering (Co-op) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Engineering) student must pass all program courses in the first six academic terms of the program to be eligible for progression in the program and acceptance into the second industry experience placement.

3.  The results from the first attempt at a course are to be used to establish eligibility for progression in the program. Successful completion of a course on subsequent attempts does not alter the eligibility of a student.

4.  The Engineering Undergraduate Program Committee may allow a student who does not meet the eligibility rules to remain in the Bachelor of Engineering (Co-op) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Engineering) program.

5.  Students who do not meet the rules for progression in the Bachelor of Engineering (Co-op) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Engineering) program shall be eligible for exclusion from the Bachelor of Engineering (Co-op) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Engineering) program and required to transfer into the standard Bachelor of Engineering programs.

The program allows the recognition of students' appropriate previous study and experience gained from working in industry, through 'Recognition of Prior Learning' (RPL) and 'Recognition of Current Competencies' (RCC). Students will be assessed for credit transfer on a case-by-case basis and will be required to nominate courses they wish to be considered for exemption from. Grounds for that exemption, through students' demonstration of prior achievement of the CQUniversity courses' learning outcomes, must be documented and assessed as satisfactory by the Program Committee. Students may only gain credit transfer for up to 50% of the overall program, on a units of credit basis, with a majority of Advanced Level courses studied.

We are unable to assess credit transfer until potential students accept an offer to study with the University, however you are welcome to do a self assessment by using our Credit Transfer Kit.

Generally only TAFE diploma level or above is recognised for credit at tertiary level.

It is a requirement of enrolment in this program that students have access to the CQUniversity website via internet. Students may be required to undertake various components of study in the program using email and the Internet.

It is strongly recommended that students have access to a broadband connection or higher to access online student resources that would include but not limited to, email, internet, video streaming, electronic assessment submission.
