The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Co-op Engineering) allow you to gain hands-on experience in a professional industry environment, being paid while you learn. The course has a strong focus on learning in context so you will 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 foundation technical content. In second term you will undertake an authentic industry project with work-integrated learning. By the end of first year, you will have experienced many engineering projects which will assist you to decide which engineering discipline you wish to pursue: civil, electrical, mechanical or mechatronics.
Second year is all about expanding knowledge and skills in your discipline. Your exposure to projects will continue, which will give you opportunities to apply the theoretical knowledge you have gained to deliver tangible engineering outcomes. As early as the end of your second year of study, you will go on an industry placement where you will develop your skills and experience in a professional engineering practice. Later in your course, you will complete a second placement, making a total of at least 48 weeks of paid industrial experience by the end of your course. The work placements give you the opportunity to earn while you learn, find out what engineering is really about, put the theory you have learnt into practice and develop an industry network.
In the upper levels of your course, you will develop a deeper understanding of the foundation knowledge that you gained in first and second year. In some units, you will explore specific aspects of your discipline. You will also complete 3 project units where you will work on authentic projects, sometimes with an industry mentor. In civil, electrical and mechanical majors you will have the opportunity to choose an elective that will enhance your career prospects in your chosen field. Finally, you will complete a major individual project to confirm your ability to work as a professional engineer.
This CQUniversity work-integrated-learning engineering course incorporates Project Based Learning, Co-operative Education and Professional Practice, providing learning in context and industry employment integrated into your study course. Teamwork and problem-solving skills are learned alongside technical content in exciting authentic contexts.
You will graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) leading to qualification as a professional engineer and a Diploma of Professional Practice (Co-op Engineering) attesting to your advanced knowledge, skills and experience in professional engineering practice.
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.

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.
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.
