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 may determine their own schedule based upon credit transfers and personal study requirements. It is important to note that full-time students usually enrol in 24 units of credit per term and part-time students usually enrol in 12 units of credit per term.

An integral part of the Bachelor of Engineering program, and a requirement of Engineers Australia for program accreditation, is that each student must gain at least 12 weeks of approved industry experience in an appropriate area of engineering. The student must also submit a report indicating the type of work done, the degree of responsibility involved, the person(s) to whom the student was directly responsible, and the general activities of the employer. This report must be certified as correct by the employer and submitted by the end of the second week of the term following the vacation period of employment. Further information regarding the reporting requirements refer to the ‘Engineering Practice' document located here http://content.cqu.edu.au/FCWViewer/getFile.do?id=32107

Note that even if you are working full-time in industry whilst studying, you must still submit a report. However, if you are carrying out appropriate engineering work, you can use your normal employment as the basis of your report.

You should ensure that you submit your report in a timely manner prior to your expected graduation date. You will be assessed for eligibility to graduate immediately following Certification of Grades in your final Term of study. Please allow a 2 week turn-around time for assessment of your report. Failure to meet this deadline may result in a delay to your graduation date. 

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 incorporated.

Courses comprising honours calculation:

Electrical:

The following explains the rules for progression into the Bachelor of Engineering (Co-op)/Diploma of Professional Practice (Engineering)

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Engineering program who meet all the rules for progression in the Bachelor of Engineering (Co-op) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Engineering) programs may be invited to transfer into the Bachelor of Engineering (Co-op) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Engineering) program.

In the event of limited numbers in the remaining unfilled industry placements, only invitations to fill unclaimed placements will be made.

Where the number of students eligible for transfer is greater than the number of remaining unfilled industry placements, invitations to transfer shall be decided by the student's WGPA after completion of the first term in the second year of study.

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.

Please note that study undertaken more than10 years ago is not normally considered unless the applicant can supply certified documents showing that they have been continually using the required skills in the work force. 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.
