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.

ENTG13002 Technology Project Planning

In line with Faculty 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.

ENTG13001 Technology 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.

All courses in this program are offered in distance (external) mode. All courses in the first two years of the program (assuming part-time study progression) are also offered internally at the CQUniversity Rockhampton, Mackay and Gladstone campuses. Distance students of this program will be required to attend the CQUniversity Rockhampton campus for compulsory residential schools in some courses. Students are advised to check course details to determine whether a course has a residential component prior to enrolling.

Students may determine their own schedule based upon credit transfers and personal study requirements.

Note: that part-time students usually enrol in 12 units of credit per term and full-time students usually enrol in 24 units of credit per term.   

An integral part of the program, and a requirement of Engineers Australia for program accreditation, is a minimum of six weeks of approved work experience in an engineering environment.

As proof of work experience, students will be required to submit a formal 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 should be certified by the employer. Refer to ‘Engineering Practice' document located here http://www.cqu.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/71833/Engineering-Practice-Description-02April2013.pdf for further information on work experience documentation required.

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. 

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.

To be eligible for the award of a Distinction in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology, a student must study a minimum of 72 uc of CQU courses within the program and have achieved a minimum 'Weighted Grade Point Average' (WGPA) of 5.00 over their entire CQUniversity study program, on the first attempt in each course.

A degree with distinction will be awarded to eligible students who have achieved a WGPA of 6.00 or more for the highest graded results in 72 uc of courses in Level 2 and 3 of the program, which must include Technology Project Preparation and Technology Project Implementation, at their first attempt.

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.

All CQUniversity BEngTech program plans have a defined articulation path into the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) program. Students considering articulation into the BE program should contact their Program Advisor.   

The BET program is criterion-referenced. As such, progress is conditional upon students having acquired specified skills and knowledge in previous courses of study. Students failing a course twice will be required to demonstrate to their Program Advisor why their third attempt is likely to be successfully before they enrol again.

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.
