Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Co-op Engineering)
Central Queensland University
About
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.

Domestic students
Prerequisite study: English (4, SA), Mathematics B (4, SA)
Note:
Students should have a mathematical knowledge equal to a passing grade in Queensland Mathematics B or an interstate or TAFE equivalent. Prospective students who do not believe they can meet this requirement should contact CQUniversity to discuss available bridging courses.
If you were not born in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa or the United States of America you are required to meet the English Language Proficiency requirements set by the University.
Applicants are required to provide evidence of completion within the last 5 years of:
a secondary qualification (Year 11 or 12, or equivalent), or
bachelor level qualification study for a period of at least 2 years full-time with a minimum overall GPA 4.0
completed within Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, South Africa, Ireland, or the United States of America, which will meet the English proficiency.
If you do not satisfy any of the above you will need to undertake an English language proficiency test and achieve the following scores as below.
- An International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic) overall band score of at least 6.5 overall with a minimum 6.0 for Reading and Writing and 6.0 for Speaking and Listening, or
- An Occupational English Test with Grades A or B only in each of the four components.
English test results remain valid for no more than two years between final examination date and the date of commencement of study and must appear on a single result certificate.
Each student will be assessed individually.
