Program Structure

This program is aimed at the education of professional engineers in one of four disciplines:

  • Civil
  • Electrical
  • Mechanical
  • Mining (awarded by University of Queensland)

All students enrol in a 100% common first year and then a 75% common second year with a 25% discipline stream component. Students must select their discipline before enrolling in second year courses.

The first two years of this program are common to CF47 – Bachelor of Engineering (Co-op) and Diploma of professional Practice (Engineering). Students in this program may be invited to transfer to the Co-op program subject to their performance and the availability of industry placement places.
