Program Overview This program targets the development of technology education trainers and educators at the Engineering Technologist/Registered Teacher level. The program aims to produce dual qualified graduates who can apply knowledge and skills in analysis, apply technological and educational practice and principles, exhibit practice and management skills and social responsibility to existing and new technology education areas. More specifically, the program aims to produce people who can:
Program FeaturesThe program contains several innovative features: Knowledge & skills focused. Graduates of this program are expected to possess engineering technology competencies defined by the respective National Competency Standards for Engineering Technologists as prescribed by the Institution of Engineers, Australia (IEAust). In addition, competencies in functional educational areas to equip them with a sound skills base in technology related education operations should be acquired. Training as well as education focus. While a majority of course content is devoted to technology and education specific training and education, the program places equal importance on the development of personal skills to prepare students as life-long learners. Staged skill development. The program is designed to develop students' learning skills progressively. The first year of the program aims to develop students' mathematical and language skills and introduce studies in technical and education areas. Students commence learning discipline-specific technical and education language and application and practice skills in the second year. The third and fourth years of the program expose students to technology and education practice, management, analysis and systems thinking skills. It is intended to allow students to develop a holistic view of the technology and education areas in which they have chosen to practice. Use of information technology. Students are required to use computers and the Internet as an integral part of their learning environment. Access to these facilities is essential for all students enrolled in the program. Quality commitment. The Faculties are committed to continuing quality improvement. Both program structure and content are reviewed regularly to reflect the best current practice. The BET/BEd Program Committee manages all quality (and other) aspects of the program. Program Structure All students (except advanced standing entry students) entering the program will undertake a common first year. Students will then be counselled to enrol in a program of study in one of the nominal engineering discipline streams in the second year. Alternative programs may be available for students with full-time or part-time employment. Students who wish to vary their program must apply in writing to the BET/BEd Program Committee, stating their career goals and the alternative courses in which they wish to enrol. There are however limitations imposed by the registration and accreditation requirements of the appropriate external accreditation and registration authorities. In each academic year, full-time students are expected to complete a minimum of 8 courses (each are nominally be allocated 6 units of credit) (part-time students may select between 2 and 5). Alternatively, exemptions from courses may be sought, based on achieved competency in TAFE National Curriculum modules or other educational institution studies, or via RPL/RCC (See section on Credit Transfer). Thus each year of equivalent full time study in the proposed course has a credit point value of between 48 and 60 units of credit Subject to the approval of the BET/BEd Program Committee, students may supplement their CQU study program with relevant and equivalent level courses from other programs within, or outside of, the University.

Bridging or Remedial Courses which may be used as ‘shell’ courses to define and specially tailor a student’s study program:
Work Experience and Fieldwork An integral part of the program, and a requirement of the Institution of Engineers, Australia, for the award of the Bachelor of Engineering Technology component, is a minimum of 6 weeks of approved work experience in an engineering environment. This may be completed during the student vacation(s). Students who have appropriate prior engineering work experience may seek exemption from this requirement. 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 must be certified as correct by the employer. It is a requirement of the Queensland Board of Teacher Registration that in the course of their education component of study students complete a minimum of 100 days of teaching fieldwork, 80 of which are under the supervision of registered teachers. Degrees with Distinction It is the intention of the Faculties to recognise outstanding academic achievement of students, by awarding the Bachelor of Engineering Technology Degree and the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) Degree with Distinction to students who achieved a designated GPA of 6.0 and above in each of the program components. This will be in their first attempt result in each of their last 8 (of which 7 are level 3 courses, and with at least Distinctions in 64301 BET Project 1 and 64302 BET Project 2) scheduled enrolled courses in the engineering component, and the complete education component. Articulation and credit transfer Through alignment in the engineering technology component with national standards in particular, but not exclusive to, the program allows for the recognition of student’s previous appropriate study with TAFE and/or other tertiary providers. In addition, experience gained from working in industry, through ‘Recognition of Prior Learning’ (RPL) and ‘Recognition of Current Competencies’ (RCC) arrangements, allows for credit transfer and exemption. Students seeking RPL/RCC as the basis for credit transfer for both components, will be required to submit a portfolio of their work and any other supporting evidence, as well as a statement giving the specific reason for the claim. There will be a 6-month assessment period, during which the student (if the claim is provisionally granted) will be allowed to enrol in “follow-on” courses. The final granting of the exemption is normally subject to students passing the follow-on course(s). In determining the criteria on a student's eligibility to graduate, the Faculties will take a holistic, liberal perspective. The attainment of the necessary knowledge and skills, in addition to the accumulation of a particular combination of course choices, will be used by the Faculties to determine whether a student has met all the program requirements to graduate. Part of the final stage of the curriculum in the course will require students to put together the elements of skills which they have developed throughout the course into simulated professional practice, by the successful completion of a final year engineering technology projects and education professional practice courses. In addition, where the students' learning program differs significantly from the nominal program, they may be required to prepare a document substantiating their claim of achieving the necessary professional competencies and skills. Rules for Progression and Exclusion for the BET/BEd program The BET/BEd program is knowledge and skills competency referenced. As such, progress is conditional upon students having acquired the specified learning objectives in their courses of study. Students seeking to enrol in a particular course will need to confirm that they have necessary prerequisite knowledge and skills. Satisfactory academic performance will be defined, for a full time student, as passing a minimum of 70% of the enrolled courses within each year. Students who do not perform satisfactorily will be counselled to either change course or re-structure their program. Continued failure to meet these requirements may result in students being asked to show cause as to why they should be permitted to continue their studies. Failure to provide a satisfactory response could result in exclusion from the program.
