As a Bachelor of Engineering Technology student, you will integrate problem-solving, teamwork and communications skills to develop and demonstrate technical capabilities in your chosen field of Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Resource Systems or Aircraft Maintenance Engineering. This CQUniversity Engineering course incorporates project-based learning, allowing you to learn in context and in formal and informal learning environments such as workshops, classes, and project studios. You will learn teamwork and problem-solving skills alongside technical content in exciting real-world engineering contexts that promote sustainable development.
The course consists of a common first year, after which you will select your Major in either Civil Engineering (Structural or Municipal Transportation), Electrical Engineering (Electrical Control or Electrical Power), Mechanical Engineering (Design or Energy), Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Avionics or Mechanical), or Resource Systems (Automation or Data Science).
Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Resource Systems Majors of this course are available online, allowing you the flexibility to study if you are in a remote location or working and cannot attend face-to-face classes. If you are studying online, you will participate in intensive classes associated with some units in the course to develop practical skills and network with staff and students. You will also interact with staff and students via online unit websites.
To enter the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Majors, students must have already completed a Diploma of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Avionics or Mechanical) at Aviation Australia’s Brisbane campus, or an equivalent qualification approved by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Upon completing the Diploma, students receive 1.5 years of advanced standing towards the corresponding Aircraft Maintenance Major in this course. The final 1.5 years of the Aircraft Maintenance Majors are available on-campus at Aviation Australia Brisbane and online.
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology is an alternative entry pathway for engineering Honours courses. Students in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Resource Systems Majors study many of the same units as CC31 Bachelor of Engineering students but in a specialised discipline area.
Bachelor of Engineering Technology graduates enjoy a wide variety of challenging career options across a range of industries and government sectors. As an Engineering Technologist you will apply your problem-solving skills and knowledge of scientific fundamentals to the design, testing, inspection, adaptation, commissioning, management or operation of on-site equipment, plant and sustainable systems.
Engineering Technologists, having specialised in one of the disciplines of civil (structural), civil (municipal/transportation), mechanical (process), mechanical (energy), mechanical (design), electrical (electrical power) or electrical (control), find employment in national and international public and private industry sectors including the energy, transportation, manufacturing, process, construction, mining and education industries.
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology course is based on the project-based learning philosophy which offers the opportunity to learn in context. This approach is designed to produce work-ready graduates with industry-relevant skills.

Completing your Final Year Project
ENTG13002 Technology Project Planning
Before enrolling in this unit, you are required to:
Identify a suitable academic advisor
Discuss project idea(s) with the academic advisor
Determine the project title and supervision arrangements
This should be completed before the start of the term to allow you to work on your project from the first week.
Unit Availability
All units are available in Bundaberg, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Mackay, Cairns and in Online mode. Online students will be required to attend a CQUniversity campus for compulsory residential schools in some units. Students are advised to check unit details to determine whether a unit has a residential component before enrolling.
Recommended study schedule
Students may determine their own schedule based upon credit transfers and personal study requirements.
Please 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.
Engineering practice (work experience) and report
An integral part of the course, and a requirement of Engineers Australia for course accreditation, is a minimum of nine 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 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.
Please 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.
Degree with distinction
To be eligible for the award of a Distinction in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology, a student must study a minimum of 72 units of credit of CQU units within the course and have achieved a minimum 'Weighted Grade Point Average' (WGPA) of 5.00 over their entire CQUniversity study 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 units of credit of units in Level 2 and 3 of the course, which must include Technology Project Preparation and Technology Project Implementation.
Articulation and credit transfer
The course 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 units they wish to be considered for exemption from. Grounds for that exemption, through students' demonstration of prior achievement of the CQUniversity units' learning outcomes, must be documented and assessed as satisfactory by the Course Committee
Students may only gain credit transfer for up to 67% of the overall course, on a units of credit basis, with a majority of Advanced Level units 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.
Transfer into the Bachelor of Engineering courses
All CQUniversity BEngTech course plans have a defined articulation path into the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) course. Students considering articulation into the BE course should contact their Student Advisor (Courses and Careers).
Rules for progression in the BET course
The BET course is criterion-referenced. As such, progress is conditional upon students having acquired specified skills and knowledge in previous units of study. Students failing a unit twice will be required to demonstrate to their Student Advisor (Courses and Careers) why their third attempt is likely to be successfully before they enrol again.
Computing requirements
It is a requirement of enrolment in this course that students have access to the CQUniversity website. Students may be required to undertake various components of study in the course 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.
