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, Intermediate Mathematics for University and Technical Mathematics for University is deemed equivalent to Maths B . You may also need to do Fundamental Mathematics for University before commencing Intermediate Mathematics for University and Technical Mathematics for University. You can contact the  Academic Learning Centre - Mathematics to discuss your previous maths history to determine if you are required to complete any of the above.

If you were not born in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, Ireland, South Africa or USA you are required to meet the English Language Prerequisite by:

• an academic IELTS (International English Language Testing System) completed within the last 2 years (from the term you are applying to start) with a minimum achievement of 6.0 in each band and an overall score of 6.5; OR
• a secondary or university qualification which is not more than 5 years old (from the term you are applying for entry into) with a satisfactory level of achievement of at least 2 years in duration from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, Ireland, South Africa or USA.

The English Language Proficiency requirements may also be satisfied by (results are to be no older than 2 years from the start of term):

• Occupational test - Result of ‘A' or ‘B'

ENEG14003 Engineering Project Planning

In line with Higher Education Division Policy for enrolment into Project based courses you will need to follow the process below prior enrolment into the relevant course:-

1. Develop the project proposal
2. Obtain an Academic Supervisor for the project
3. Determine your project title

Once you have made these arrangements, provide this information to your Course Coordinator. Once approved you will be manually enrolled in the relevant course by your Program Advisor.

ENEG14005 Engineering Project Implementation

1. Confirm Project Proposal is continuation of previous
2. Advise name of your Academic Supervisor for the project
3. Provide the name of your project title
4. Obtain a Pass (or higher) result in the prerequisite course

Provide this information to your Course Coordinator. Once approved you will be manually enrolled in the relevant course by your Program Advisor.

Please visit the Final Year Project website http://www.cqu.edu.au/academic/hed/set/final-year-engineering for more information.

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. 

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:

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.

Refer to the Credit Transfer website at http://www.cqu.edu.au/credittransfer for further details on the guidelines and application process.

It is a requirement of enrolment in this program that students have access to the CQUniversity website. 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.
