Program structure
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology program consists of core, major study and Elective components. Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology program may undertake a professional specialisation in one of seven major discipline areas:
-
Agricultural Engineering
-
Civil Engineering
-
Computer Systems Engineering
-
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
-
Environmental Engineering
-
Infrastructure Management
-

-
Power Engineering.
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology program comprises 24 academic and several practice units and involves three years of full-time study or six years of part-time study. The program is available in the on-campus mode and in the external mode of study. In order to be eligible for the award, students must complete the program within a maximum of five years of full-time study, or 10 years of part-time study, from the date of their initial enrolment.
The Head of Discipline my permit a student to enrol in an Elective course other than those specified for the accredited program. Students who wish to enrol in Elective courses other than those listed, must obtain written approval prior to enrolling in the course.
To satisfy the requirements of the program students must complete all of the Academic courses and the Practice courses in the following tables that show the recommended enrolment patterns for on-campus and external students. Students following a non-standard enrolment pattern should consult the course synopses to ascertain if a course is offered in another term.
The program structure for each of the major studies in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology is shown in the following pages.
Required time limits
Full-time students have a maximum of five years to complete
this program. Part-time students have a maximum of 10 years to complete
this program.
A pro-rata adjustment of the maximum time period
will apply for those students who transfer from one mode of study
to another. A pro-rata reduction in the maximum time period will apply
to students who are admitted to a program with advanced standing.
Practical experience
To be eligible to graduate from the Bachelor of Engineering Technology, students must obtain an aggregate of at least 45 days of suitable practical experience during their program. This experience may be in an engineering office or laboratory where the student would be working principally with professional engineers and engineering associates. It may, however, be preferable for students to spend some time in field or factory activities to gain insight into industrial practice and to see what is involved in converting designs into finished products. Students are required to enrol in ENG3909 Work Experience - Technologist in the latter part of their program and keep a record of appropriate experience as specified in the Course Specification. The work experience is to be endorsed by an appropriate person in the organisation providing the experience and submitted to the examiner. The student must meet all costs associated with the acquisition of practical experience to satisfy this requirement. The record of work experience must be made available for perusal by the Head of Discipline upon request. The acceptability or otherwise of employment experience, and the period of that type of experience that may be credited towards the 45 days, will be determined by the Examiner of ENG3909 Work Experience - Technologist.
IT requirements
Students should refer to the section entitled Access to Information Technology Facilities in the General Faculty and Program Information section of this Handbook.
Residential schools
External students are required to attend a number of residential schools during their program. These are associated with Practice Courses and are normally conducted at the end of Semester 3 (February), or during the mid-semester recess in Semester 2 (September/October).
Articulation
Students who have completed an Associate Diploma or Associate Degree program in Engineering at a Queensland university within the last five years may be able to claim up to a maximum of 16 units of advanced standing in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology program if studying in the same discipline area. Students who have completed an Advanced Diploma program in engineering at a TAFE college within the last five years are eligible to claim up to a maximum of 12 units of advanced standing if studying in the same discipline area provided appropriate modules from the national curriculum have been completed. Students holding an Associate Diploma in Engineering who seek and gain significant advanced standing in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology program in the same field of study are not entitled to use both awards after graduation.
Students who have completed a Bachelor of Engineering Technology program, or equivalent, within the last five years may normally be able to claim up to a maximum of 16 units of advanced standing in the Bachelor of Engineering. It is possible for students to be granted maximum credit (24 units) towards the Bachelor of Engineering but this ONLY applies to students who have applied for, and been granted, approval to undertake the 'Pathway to Bachelor of Engineering. The amount of credit granted depends upon the field of study and Electives completed in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology program and the field of study selected in the Bachelor of Engineering.
Exit points
Students who, for whatever reason, are unable to complete the Bachelor of Engineering Technology and who satisfy all of the requirements of either the Associate Degree in Engineering or the Diploma of Engineering Studies may be permitted to exit with that award.

To satisfy the requirements of the program students must complete all of the Academic and Practice Courses in the following table that shows the recommended enrolment patterns for on-campus and external students for our Toowoomba campus. Students following a non-standard enrolment pattern should consult the course synopses section of this Handbook to ascertain if a course is offered in another term.
Practice courses
The majority of the practical and professional experience requirements for the program are contained within the major recommended enrolment pattern in the following table. These are zero unit courses, which are a compulsory part of the program, however they do not attract a student contribution charge for Australian Residents or a tuition fee for international students.
Residential Schools
Students enrolled in the external offer of a Practice Course must attend the residential school for that course. In some cases students enrolled in the on-campus mode may also be required to attend the residential school. Students should only enrol in a Practice Course when they are able to attend the residential school for that course. Practice Courses may not be taken earlier than shown except with the permission of the Program Coordinator responsible for the program. In some cases students may enrol in two Practice Courses in one term so they can complete the two residential schools in a two-week period. The actual dates for each residential school are shown in the Residential School schedule in this Handbook.
Safety boots are compulsory in engineering laboratories for several of the Practice courses and are strongly recommended for all other Practice courses.
Elective courses
Elective courses are included in the list of Academic Courses. Students should select these courses from the Electives table

To satisfy the requirements of the program students must complete all of the Academic and Practice Courses in the following table that shows the recommended enrolment patterns for on-campus and external students for our Toowoomba campuses. Students following a non-standard enrolment pattern should consult the course synopses section of this Handbook to ascertain if a course is offered in another term.
Practice courses
The majority of the practical and professional experience requirements for the program are contained within the major recommended enrolment pattern in the following table. These are zero unit courses, which are a compulsory part of the program, however they do not attract a student contribution charge for Australian Residents or a tuition fee for international students.
Residential Schools
Students enrolled in the external offer of a Practice Course must attend the residential school for that course. In some cases students enrolled in the on-campus mode may also be required to attend the residential school. Students should only enrol in a Practice Course when they are able to attend the residential school for that course. Practice Courses may not be taken earlier than shown except with the permission of the Program Coordinator responsible for the program. In some cases students may enrol in two Practice Courses in one term so they can complete the two residential schools in a two-week period. The actual dates for each residential school are shown in the Residential School schedule in this Handbook.
Safety boots are compulsory in engineering laboratories for several of the Practice courses and are strongly recommended for all other Practice courses.
Elective courses
Elective courses are included in the list of Academic Courses. Students should select these courses from the Electives table.
