Program structure
The Associate Degree of Engineering program consists of core, major study and in most majors Elective components. Students enrolled in the Associate Degree of Engineering program may undertake a specialisation in one of nine major discipline areas:
-
Agricultural Engineering
-
Civil Engineering
-
Computer Systems Engineering
-
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
-
Environmental Engineering
-
Mechanical Engineering
-
Mining Engineering
-
Power Engineering.
-
Process Engineering
The Associate Degree of Engineering program consists of 16 Academic courses that can be completed in two years of full-time study or four years of part-time study. The program is available in on-campus and external modes of study.
Full-time, on-campus students may, with the permission of the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences, undertake courses by external study. This may be desirable if students wish to extend the range of courses open to them in the Elective areas.
The program structure for each of the major studies in the Associate Degree of Engineering is shown in the following
pages.
Elective Courses
Elective courses are included in the list of Academic courses. Students should select these courses from the Electives list.
Required time limits
Full-time students have a maximum of four years to complete this program. Part-time students have a maximum of eight 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 Associate Degree of Engineering, students must obtain an aggregate of at least 30 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 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 Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences upon request. The acceptability or otherwise of employment experience, and the period of that type of experience that may be credited towards the 30 days, will be determined by the Examiner of .
IT requirements
Access to an up-to-date computer is necessary. On-campus students can access appropriately equipped laboratories, but should consider acquisition of their own computer. External students should be able to access a computer with the following as advised by the University. All students should have access to email and the Internet via a computer running the latest versions of Internet web browsers such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. The University has a wireless network for on-campus students' computers. In order to take advantage of this facility and further enhance their on-campus learning environment, students should consider purchasing a notebook/laptop computer with wireless connectivity. A notebook/laptop may be required for some courses.
Residential schools
External students are required to attend a number of 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).
Practice Courses
The major practical work requirements associated with each of the Engineering and Built Environment programs are contained within a series of Practice courses. These courses are designed to enhance learning, communication and practical skills through laboratory sessions, workshops, seminars, field trips and group activities.
Practice courses may be undertaken in either on-campus or external mode. Students enrolling externally will be required to attend a compulsory where compulsory attendance is indicated. However, students who enrol in Practice courses in on-campus mode may be required to undertake a series of weekly activities and/or attend a compulsory residential school. The only final grades available in these courses are Pass (P) or Fail (F).
Practice courses are zero unit courses that 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. External students should ensure that they are able to attend the residential school prior to enrolling in a Practice course. The recommended enrolment pattern for Practice courses is shown in the Recommended Enrolment Pattern in each program entry 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.
is the first in a series of Practice courses designed to enable students to acquire engineering and professional practice skills, including practical and teamwork skills, problem solving and engineering judgement. It is designed principally to cater for the needs of recent school leavers and those lacking any significant experience of the engineering work force. Students who have a trade certificate and have been employed in the engineering industry for some time may be able to claim exemption from the course.
Articulation
Students who have completed an associate diploma or an associate degree program in engineering at a Queensland university within the last five years are eligible to claim up to a maximum of 16 units of advanced standing in the Bachelor of Engineering Science program if studying in the same discipline area.
Exit points
Students who, for whatever reason, are unable to complete the Associate Degree of Engineering, and who satisfy all of the requirements of the may be permitted to exit with that award.
Other information
The Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences may 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 section of this Handbook to ascertain if a course is offered in another term.
Engineering Pathways
A special Pathway has been developed for students who intend to study the Bachelor of Engineering Science or the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) once they have completed the Associate Degree of Engineering program.
