CC31 - Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

Overview

Compulsory Residential School

Some units in this course require you to attend a compulsory Residential School or Work Integrated Learning. Please see Course Features in the Getting Started tab for further information.

Course Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program strongly focuses on contextual learning and promoting sustainable development, enabling you to apply theory to authentic scenarios throughout your course. In your first year, you will develop skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and professional practice, together with learning foundational technical content. In Term 2 of Year 1, you will undertake an authentic industry project with work-integrated learning. By the end of the first year, you will have experienced engineering projects from various disciplines, which will help you decide which discipline and specialisation you wish to pursue, across Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Resource Systems engineering.

The second year is all about gaining in-depth discipline-specific knowledge and skills. Your project exposure will continue, allowing you to apply the theoretical knowledge you have gained to deliver tangible engineering outcomes. In your course's third and fourth years, you will develop a deeper understanding of the foundation knowledge you gained in the first and second years. In some units, you will explore specific aspects of your discipline. You will also complete up to three double credit-point (12cp) units where you will work on authentic projects, sometimes with an industry mentor. Finally, you will complete an undergraduate thesis as a significant individual project to confirm your ability to work as a professional engineer. The first year and many other units can be studied on campus. While all units are available online, you will need to attend intensive practical classes, providing you with the flexibility to study even if you are working or living in a remote location.If you hold TAFE qualifications and relevant trade experience, you may be eligible to apply for recognised prior learning for the Trade Practice elective, as well as other units, which could result in advanced standing and a reduced course duration. Alternatively, you may choose the Trade Practice elective to integrate approximately 600 hours of TAFE training and experience into this course.

The Bachelor of Engineering Honours is part of CQUniversity’s Engineering Cadetship Program, which could enable you to combine sponsored study with ongoing employment at an engineering firm. Cadets are among the most work-ready graduates with additional workplace training, extensive experience, and industry connections. See CQUniversity’s Engineering Cadetships website for current opportunities.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) may also be used as an alternative entry pathway to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Co-op Engineering) course for students who do not meet the entry requirements for that course.

Career Information

As a professional engineer, you will create change by developing new technologies and solutions to improve working and living standards for the community while protecting the environment. Professional engineers engage with people from all sections of society. They must listen to societal needs and apply their knowledge of science, technology, mathematics, and engineering standards to design, prototype, implement, operate and maintain solutions to complex problems.

Civil engineers are typically involved in planning, designing and maintaining physical infrastructure systems, including the construction of buildings and bridges, transport and water resource systems, sewage and industrial waste systems, harbours and railways.

Electrical engineers are typically involved in designing, developing and maintaining electrical power and energy systems, including electricity generation and distribution, telecommunications, instrumentation and control, microprocessors and electronics.

Mechanical engineers are typically involved in planning, designing, installing, maintaining and operating machines, thermodynamic and combustion systems, fluid systems, materials handling systems, manufacturing equipment and process plant.

Resource Systems engineers are typically involved with designing, planning and operating mines and mineral and coal processing plants. They specialise in applying contemporary technologies to increase productivity, sustainability and safety of resource industry (mining and mineral processing) operations. In addition, they will work closely with Civil, Electrical and Mechanical engineers to maintain complex facilities.

More Details

Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle

All students should regularly check the Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle for the latest information, including key staff contacts, intensive class schedules, student mobility and exchange opportunities, cadetships and scholarships, social events and student societies, and final-year project advice.

Course Planners

Course planners are online for each major, full-time or part-time study option, and commencing term. Students are also encouraged to create a personalised planner if obtaining credit, advance standing or studying at an alternate pace. The Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle includes instructions for obtaining your personalised course planner.

Mobility and Exchange

This course supports overseas study through a short-term mobility practicum as part of the elective ENEG13001 Humanitarian Engineering Project or a semester exchange experience at an approved overseas institution. The Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle includes current mobility and exchange programs, application instructions and staff contacts for inquiries.

Cadetships

Flexible and online course delivery options provide support for working students. The CQUniversity Engineering Cadetship model allows students to enter the engineering workforce from their first year of study. Cadets can extend their learning by directly applying new knowledge to workplace scenarios and learning from working with engineers and associates. All cadets are paid, and many are also offered full sponsorship of course tuition fees. Cadetship opportunities are posted on the CQUniversity Engineering Cadetships Website.

Course Articulation

The undergraduate engineering courses include a common foundation year, allowing students to articulate between courses with minimal or no additional study should their circumstances or career aspirations change. Students may also change their major during their first year of study. The Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle contains instructions and staff contacts for inquiries.

High School Course Pathways

Students can consider taking any of the several pathways designed to ease their transition into the course. Pathways for high school graduates commence in Year 11 and include reduced mathematics units to study by completing Mathematical Methods, early study of engineering units while at high school through CQUniversity’s Start Uni Now (SUN) program, and credit for other units by completing Engineering General and/or Design General with extra-curricular activities if supported at high school. Prospective students can request further information on engineering course pathways by emailing our college professional team SETAdmin@cqu.edu.au).

Mature-age Course Pathways

Mature-age students who do not meet the course entry requirements should contact our college professional team (SETAdmin@cqu.edu.au) to explore alternate pathways before committing to CQUniversity’s Skills for Tertiary Education Preparation Studies (STEPS) program.

Honours

Honours Class is determined by the grade point average (GPA) of the first attempts of the four capstone units, excluding ENEG14003 Engineering Honours Project Planning. Capstone units have the numerical code 14### and a weight of 12 credits. The Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle lists capstone units for all majors. Students must also achieve an overall GPA of at least 5.00 to be eligible for Honours. Failure to meet this GPA will prohibit awarding First or Second Class Honours, regardless of performance in the capstone units. The Third-Class Honours level is not offered for this course.

Engineering Professional Practice

This course includes mandatory professional practice, as explained in the handbook.
