Practical experienceTo be eligible to graduate from the Associate Degree of Engineering, students must obtain an aggregate of atleast 30 days of suitable work experience during their program. This experience may be in an engineeringoffice or laboratory where the student would be working principally with professional engineers and engineeringassociates. It may, however, be preferable for students to spend some time in field or factory activities to gaininsight into industrial practice and to see what is involved in converting designs into finished products. Studentsare required to enrol in ENG2909 Work Experience - Associate in the latter part of their program and keep arecord of appropriate experience as specified in the Course Specification. The work experience is to be endorsedby an appropriate person in the organisation providing the experience and submitted to the examiner. Thestudent must meet all costs associated with the acquisition of work experience to satisfy this requirement. Therecord of work experience must be made available for perusal by the Faculty of Health, Engineering andSciences upon request. The acceptability or otherwise of employment experience, and the period of that typeof experience that may be credited towards the 30 days, will be determined by the Examiner of ENG2909Work Experience - Associate.

Credit or exemptions for ENG2909 Work Experience - Associate will not normally be considered.This version produced 21 Apr 2022.CRICOS: QLD 00244B, NSW 02225M | TEQSA: PRV12081

Practical experienceTo be eligible to graduate from the Bachelor of Engineering Science, students must obtain an aggregate of atleast 45 days of suitable work experience during their program. This experience may be in an engineeringoffice or laboratory where the student would be working principally with professional engineers and engineeringassociates. It may, however, be preferable for students to spend some time in field or factory activities to gaininsight into industrial practice and to see what is involved in converting designs into finished products. Studentsare required to enrol in ENG3909 Work Experience - Technologist in the latter part of their program and keepa record of appropriate experience as specified in the Course Specification. The work experience is to beendorsed 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 work experience to satisfy this requirement.The record of work experience must be made available for perusal by the Faculty of Health, Engineering andSciences upon request. The acceptability or otherwise of employment experience, and the period of that typeof experience that may be credited towards the 45 days, will be determined by the Examiner of ENG3909Work Experience - Technologist.

Credit or exemptions for ENG3909 Work Experience - Technologist will not normally be considered.




























External students must attend a number of residential schools during their program to obtain experience inpractical and professional activities appropriate to the program. The residential schools are included in Practicecourses which are conducted in Semester 3 or during the recess periods. The dates for each residential schoolPractice course are shown in the Residential School schedule in this Handbook and external students shouldensure they are able to attend the residential school prior to enrolling in a Practice course. Personal protectiveequipment is compulsory in many engineering, construction and spatial science laboratories, student shouldconfirm the requirements before attending residential schools for Practice courses.

Student who enrol in on-campus mode for Practice courses normally undertake a series of weekly activitiesand/or attend a compulsory residential school.

Pathways to the Master of Engineering Practice

One Pathway to the MEPR Master of Engineering Practice program has been developed for graduates of theBENS program who gain five years of relevant industrial experience after receiving their BENS degree. Thisindustrial experience should be in the BENS major and/or the major they wish to undertake in the program.Students who wish to follow this pathway into a different major in the MEPR from the major they studied inthe BENS are not guaranteed articulation into the MEPR. All students should consult their relevant MajorConvenor for advice before enrolling in their courses.

An alternative engineering Practice Pathway has been developed for students who intend to study the MEPRimmediately after completing the Bachelor of Engineering Science program. The BENS engineering practice
























./MEPR.pdf


pathway is designed to enable experienced engineering Associates to draw on their industrial experience todemonstrate their achievement of the required generic and technical capabilities to Engineers Australia Stage2 Experienced Technologist Competency attributes. BENS graduates who have completed this engineeringpractice pathway may be considered for entry into the MEPR program after receiving formal EngineersAustralia Technologist accreditation using their Bachelor of Engineering Science (BENS) practice pathwaye-Portfolio.

The engineering practice pathway is an option for students who hold an ADNG Associate Degree of Engineeringor close equivalent and have five years of relevant industry experience at the time they enter the Bachelor ofEngineering Science program. The pathway requires students to complete the approved course ENG3300Industry Experience Evaluation Portfolio. Students who have the appropriate industrial experience, and areeligible for 10 or more exemptions upon entry into the Bachelor of Engineering Science (BENS) programmay undertake this pathway. The ENG3300 Industry Experience Evaluation Portfolio will enable students toassess their existing workplace integrated learning skills, attributes and capabilities, and complete a technologistworkplace e-portfolio to demonstrate their level of competency achievements.

Prospective Engineering Practice Pathway students should visit the Engineers Australia web site to gain anunderstanding of the processes which will be followed. In particular, they should view the EngineeringTechnologist Stage Two Competencies and the guidelines for achieving Chartered Technologist status.

Exit pointsStudents who, for whatever reason, are unable to complete the Bachelor of Engineering Science and whosatisfy all of the requirements of either the Associate Degree of Engineering or the Diploma of EngineeringStudies may be permitted to exit with that award.


Work Experience

Work and industrial experience that has not been formally assessed, does not normally qualify for coursecredit in the Bachelor of Engineering Science program. The MEPR Master of Engineering Practice and theBENS/MEPR Engineering Practice Pathway has been established with the capacity of recognising and formallyassessing industrial and work integrated learning (WIL) experience. Existing work experience may be usedto satisfy the practical/work experience requirements when completing the ENG3909 Work Experience -Technologist practice course.

Other informationThe Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences may permit a student to enrol in an approved course otherthan those specified for the accredited program. Students who wish to enrol in approved courses other thanthose listed, must obtain written approval from their Major Convenor prior to enrolling in the course.

To satisfy the requirements of the program students must complete all Academic and Practice courses in thefollowing recommended enrolment patterns. Students following a non-standard enrolment pattern shouldconsult the course specification to ascertain if a course is offered in another term.

Program fees





















Program structureThe 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 professionalspecialisation in one of seven major discipline areas:

● Agricultural Engineering● Civil Engineering● Computer Systems Engineering● Electrical and Electronic Engineering● Environmental Engineering● Infrastructure Management● Mechanical Engineering● Power Engineering.

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology program comprises 24 academic and several practice units andinvolves three years of full-time study or six years of part-time study. The program is available in the on-campusmode and in the external mode of study. In order to be eligible for the award, students must complete theprogram within a maximum of five years of full-time study, or 10 years of part-time study, from the date oftheir initial enrolment.

The Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences may permit a student to enrol in an Elective course otherthan those specified for the accredited program. Students who wish to enrol in Elective courses other thanthose 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 Practicecourses in the following tables that show the recommended enrolment patterns for on-campus and externalstudents. Students following a non-standard enrolment pattern should consult the course specification toascertain 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 inthe following pages.

Required time limitsFull-time students have a maximum of five years to complete this program. Part-time students have a maximumof 10 years to complete this program.A pro-rata adjustment of the maximum time period will apply for those students who transfer from one modeof study to another. A pro-rata reduction in the maximum time period will apply to students who are admittedto a program with advanced standing.

Practical experienceTo be eligible to graduate from the Bachelor of Engineering Technology, students must obtain an aggregateof at least 45 days of suitable practical experience during their program. This experience may be in anengineering office or laboratory where the student would be working principally with professional engineersand engineering associates. It may, however, be preferable for students to spend some time in field or factoryactivities to gain insight into industrial practice and to see what is involved in converting designs into finishedproducts. Students are required to enrol in ENG3909 Work Experience - Technologist in the latter part oftheir program and keep a record of appropriate experience as specified in the Course Specification. The workexperience is to be endorsed by an appropriate person in the organisation providing the experience andsubmitted to the examiner. The student must meet all costs associated with the acquisition of practical experienceto satisfy this requirement. The record of work experience must be made available for perusal by the Facultyof 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 45 days, will be determined by theExaminer of ENG3909 Work Experience - Technologist.





IT requirementsAccess to an up-to-date computer is necessary. On-campus students can access appropriately equippedlaboratories, but should consider acquisition of their own computer. External students should be able to accessa computer with the following minimum standards as advised by the University. All students should haveaccess to email and the Internet via a computer running the latest versions of Internet web browsers such asInternet Explorer or Firefox. The University has a wireless network for on-campus students' computers. Inorder to take advantage of this facility and further enhance their on-campus learning environment, studentsshould consider purchasing a notebook/laptop computer with wireless connectivity. A notebook/laptop maybe required for some courses.


External students are required to attend a number of residential schools during their program. These areassociated with Practice Courses and are normally conducted at the end of Semester 3 (February), or duringthe mid-semester recess in Semester 2 (September/October).

The majority of the practical and professional experience requirements for the program are contained withinthe major recommended enrolment pattern. These are zero unit courses, which are a compulsory part of theprogram, however they do not attract a student contribution charge for Australian Residents or a tuition feefor international students.

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 thatcourse. Practice Courses may not be taken earlier than shown except with the permission of the Schoolresponsible for the program. In some cases students may enrol in two Practice Courses in one term so theycan complete the two residential schools in a two-week period. The actual dates for each residential schoolare shown in the Residential School schedule in this Handbook.

Safety boots are compulsory in engineering laboratories for several of the Practice courses and are stronglyrecommended for all other Practice courses.

ArticulationStudents who have completed an Associate Diploma or Associate Degree program in Engineering at aQueensland university within the last five years may be able to claim up to a maximum of 16 units of advancedstanding in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology program if studying in the same discipline area. Studentswho have completed an Advanced Diploma program in engineering at a TAFE college within the last fiveyears are eligible to claim up to a maximum of 12 units of advanced standing if studying in the same disciplinearea provided appropriate modules from the national curriculum have been completed. Students holding anAssociate Diploma in Engineering who seek and gain significant advanced standing in the Bachelor ofEngineering 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 lastfive years may normally be able to claim up to a maximum of 16 units of advanced standing in the Bachelorof Engineering. It is possible for students to be granted maximum credit (24 units) towards the Bachelor ofEngineering but this ONLY applies to students who have applied for, and been granted, approval to undertakethe 'Pathway to Bachelor of Engineering. The amount of credit granted depends upon the field of study andElectives completed in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology program and the field of study selected inthe Bachelor of Engineering.

Major studiesThe Bachelor of Construction consists of a core component and a major study. The major study providesstudents with knowledge and skills in a specific discipline. The major studies currently available are:

● Civil● Management.

Electives/Approved coursesStudents are required to complete a number of electives in their Bachelor of Construction program.In the Bachelor of Construction, students are not required to undertake the Elective courses until the third orfourth level of the program. This enables students enrolled in the second level of the program to discuss theirchoice of Electives with the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences. The most popular choices of coursesfor Electives may thus be timetabled to allow students to attend in their fourth year of study. AppropriateElectives are shown in the tables in the Recommended Enrolment Pattern section. Students may undertakeonly one appropriate level five or level eight course from the Bachelor of Engineering or another Engineeringand Built Environment program as an Elective with the approval of the Faculty of Health, Engineering andSciences. The Faculty may approve a variation in Elective studies where the student can demonstrate thatthere is a sound academic argument for the change. Arguments based on timetable difficulties, quota problemsetc. will not normally be entertained. Note however that students who wish to enrol in courses other than thoselisted must obtain the written approval of the Faculty prior to enrolling in the course if they want the courseto count as credit towards their award.

Students should note that quota restrictions may preclude their enrolment in particular Elective study coursesas students enrolling in these courses as part of their core or major studies will be given enrolment priority.

Practical experienceTo be eligible to graduate from the Bachelor of Construction, students must obtain an aggregate of at least 80days of suitable practical experience during their program. This experience may be in an architectural,engineering or building project management office. Students are required to keep a record of such experience.The student must meet all costs associated with the acquisition of practical experience to satisfy this requirement.The Record Book must be made available for perusal by the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciencesupon request. The acceptability or otherwise of employment experience, and the period of that type of experiencethat may be credited towards the 80 days, will be determined by the Faculty.

IT requirementsAccess to an up-to-date computer is necessary. On-campus students can access appropriately equippedlaboratories, but should consider acquisition of their own computer. External students should be able to accessa computer with the following minimum standards as advised by the University. All students should haveaccess to email and the Internet via a computer running the latest versions of Internet web browsers such asInternet 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, studentsshould consider purchasing a notebook/laptop computer with wireless connectivity. A notebook/laptop maybe required for some courses.


External students are required to attend a number of residential schools during their program. These areassociated with Practice courses and are normally conducted at the end of Semester 3 (February), or duringthe mid-semester recess in Semester 2 (September/October).

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 thatcourse. Practice Courses may not be taken earlier than shown except with the permission of the Faculty ofHealth, Engineering and Sciences. In some cases students may enrol in two Practice Courses in one term sothey can complete the two residential schools in a two-week period. The actual dates for each residentialschool are shown in the Residential School schedule in this Handbook.

Practice courses

The majority of the practical and professional experience requirements for the program are contained withinthe major recommended enrolment pattern in the following table. These are zero unit courses, which are acompulsory part of the program, however they do not attract a student contribution charge for AustralianResidents or a tuition fee for international students.

ArticulationStudents who have completed an Associate Diploma or Associate Degree program in Engineering orConstruction at a Queensland university within the last five years are eligible to claim up to a maximum of16 units of advanced standing in the BCON Bachelor of Construction program.

Exit pointsStudents who, for whatever reason, are unable to complete the Bachelor of Construction and who satisfy allof the requirements of either the Bachelor of Engineering Technology, the Associate Degree of Engineeringor the Diploma of Engineering Studies may be permitted to exit with that award.

HonoursThe Bachelor of Construction may be awarded with Honours. The class of honours to be awarded to a studentis dependent upon:

● the Grade Point Average calculated from the grades achieved in the courses studied in, or transferred to,the program

● the grade achieved by the student in the courses ENG4111 Research Project Part 1 and ENG4112 ResearchProject Part 2 (unless the student is exempted from these courses).

The minimum levels of achievement normally required for each class of honours are shown in the followingtable. To be assured of achieving a particular class of honours students must have achieved the specified gradein the research project courses and the minimum GPA requirements for all of the courses studied, for the last16 courses studied, or for the last eight courses studied.

Professional accreditationA graduate of this program is eligible to apply for membership of Engineers Australia as a graduate ProfessionalEngineer. After further professional development, a graduate member with a Bachelor of Engineering mayapply for chartered status as a Professional Engineer and, when granted, may use the post-nominal MIEAustCPEng.

The Bachelor of Engineering program is accredited by Engineers Australia and, through an agreement reachedbetween the professional engineering bodies of other countries (the Washington Accord), is also recognisedin the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Ireland, Hong Kong, New Zealand and SouthAfrica.

Program aimsThe Bachelor of Engineering provides students with the knowledge and skills that are necessary to commencepractice as a professional engineer and to undertake further advanced level studies in engineering. Specificallythe program provides students with a core of basic generic and technical skills, common to all branches ofengineering, and then permits students to undertake an in depth study of either agricultural, civil, computersystems, electrical and electronic, environmental, instrumentation and control, mechanical, mechatronic,power engineering. In addition, students are equipped with a knowledge of the industrial and social environmentsin which they will function as professional engineers. The program also seeks to instill in students a capacityto communicate effectively and adapt to change.

The Bachelor of Engineering is primarily vocationally oriented. However, the program has been designed toidentify students who have the capacity to undertake further study at an advanced level and to make an originalcontribution to engineering knowledge. These students are encouraged to undertake the course ENG8001Engineering Research Methods as one of their Elective courses. This, and the two Research Project courses,will assist them in achieving these goals.

Program objectivesThe objectives of this program are:

● to enable students to acquire, and demonstrate that they possess, the specified graduate attributes andcapabilities

● to enable students to acquire in-depth technical competence in one of the following fields: AgriculturalEngineering; Civil Engineering; Computer Systems Engineering; Electrical and Electronic Engineering;Environmental Engineering; Instrumentation and Control Engineering; Mechanical Engineering;Mechatronic Engineering; or Power Engineering.

● to enable students from diverse and non-traditional backgrounds and locations to enrol in the programand to provide them with opportunities to acquire the skills necessary to complete the program in thenormal time

● to enable students to be empowered as learners through the provision of a wide range of teaching andlearning styles and modes in their program

● to ensure that all students, regardless of the mode of study, have equality of opportunity in acquiring thespecified graduate attributes and capabilities

● to ensure that graduates are eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia, and other appropriateprofessional bodies.


● have studied four semester units and achieved an exit assessment of 'Sound Achievement' or better ineach of the following Queensland Senior Secondary School subjects: English and Mathematics B. It isrecommended that applicants should also have satisfactorily completed the subject: Physics

Program fees


















Program structureThe Bachelor of Engineering is a 32 unit program consisting of Academic courses and Practice courses.


Practice courses are zero unit courses and each involves approximately 50 hours of student work. The onlygrades available for a Practice Course are Pass (P) and Fail (F). A Practice Course is designed to enablestudents to acquire specific competencies associated with their major study. These competencies range fromspecific practical and communication skills through to generic competencies relating to ethical and socialresponsibility, awareness of the environment, teamwork, etc. For an external student a Practice Course generallyinvolves attendance on-campus for a one-week residential school.

Program completion requirementsThe Bachelor of Engineering involves either four years of full-time study or eight years of part-time study.To be eligible for the award students must complete the program within a maximum period of six yearsfull-time study or 10 years part-time study from the date of their initial enrolment. Some courses in theAgricultural Engineering major are not yet available in external mode. In that case, students may need tospend up to two terms full-time on-campus to complete those courses. The Instrumentation and ControlEngineering major is designed for process technologists in industry who wish to upgrade their qualifications.As such, the program will normally be undertaken by external study. Students who undertake the program bya combination of external and full-time study must complete their studies within nine years from the date oftheir initial enrolment to be eligible for the award.

These modes are available in each major shown in the following table.

Major studiesThe Bachelor of Engineering consists of a core component and a series of major studies. All students mustcomplete the core courses and one of the major studies. The major study provides students with knowledgeand skills in a specific discipline. The major study areas in the USQ Bachelor of Engineering are:

● Agricultural Engineering● Civil Engineering● Computer Systems Engineering● Electrical and Electronic Engineering


















● Environmental Engineering● Instrumentation and Control Engineering● Mechanical Engineering● Mechatronic Engineering● Power Engineering

Electives/Approved coursesIn the Bachelor of Engineering, students are not required to undertake the Elective courses until the third andfourth levels of the program. This enables students enrolled in the second level of the program to discuss theirchoice of Electives with their Faculty. The most popular choices of courses for Electives may thus be timetabledto allow students to attend in their third and fourth years of study. Appropriate Electives are shown in thetables in the Recommended Enrolment Pattern section. Students may undertake only one appropriate levelfive or level eight course from the Bachelor of Engineering or another Engineering and Built Environmentprogram as an Elective with the approval of the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences. The Facultymay approve a variation in Elective studies where the student can demonstrate that there is a sound academicargument for the change. Arguments based on timetable difficulties, quota problems etc. will not normallybe entertained. Note however that students who wish to enrol in courses other than those listed must obtainthe written approval from the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences prior to enrolling in the course ifthey want the course to count as credit towards their award.

Students should note that quota restrictions may preclude their enrolment in particular Elective study coursesas students enrolling in these courses as part of their core or major studies will be given enrolment priority.

Practical experienceTo be eligible to graduate from the Bachelor of Engineering, students must obtain an aggregate of at least 60days of suitable practical experience during their program. This experience may be in an engineering officeor laboratory where the student would be working principally with professional engineers and engineeringassociates. It may, however, be preferable for students to spend some time in field or factory activities to gaininsight into industrial practice and to see what is involved in converting designs into finished products. Studentsare required to enrol in ENG4909 Work Experience - Professional in the latter part of their program and keepa record of appropriate experience as specified in the Course Specification. The work experience is to beendorsed 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 andSciences upon request. The acceptability or otherwise of employment experience, and the period of that typeof experience that may be credited towards the 60 days, will be determined by the Examiner of ENG4909Work Experience - Professional.














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 thatcourse. Practice courses may not be taken earlier than shown except with the permission of the Faculty ofHealth, Engineering and Sciences. In some cases students may enrol in two Practice courses in one term sothey can complete the two residential schools in a two-week period. The actual dates for each residentialschool are shown in the Residential School schedule in this Handbook.

Professional accreditationThe Bachelor of Spatial Science (Surveying) is fully accredited by the Surveyors Board of Queensland andis recognised in every Australian state and in New Zealand through reciprocal arrangements. The degree,together with relevant industry experience, enables registration and/or licensing as a professional surveyorwith the Boards of Surveyors in Australia and New Zealand.

Provisional accreditation of the Bachelor of Spatial Science (Urban and Regional Planning will be soughtfrom the Planning Institute of Australia during 2013.

Graduates from the Bachelor of Spatial Science are eligible to apply for membership with the Surveying andSpatial Science Institute Australia

Program aimsThe Bachelor of Spatial Science program provides students with the educational requirements to become aprofessional spatial scientist and the ability to undertake postgraduate studies. The program equips studentswith a core of basic theoretical, scientific, analytical, managerial, professional, research and communicationskills that will permit them to undertake an in-depth study of the fundamental science and practice of spatialscience in one of three fields: Geographic Information Systems (GIS),Surveying or Urban and RegionalPlanning.

In addition, students obtain knowledge of the natural, legal, commercial, industrial and social environmentsin which they will function as professionals. The program instils in students the need for continuing professionaldevelopment and gives them the ability to adapt to change.

The program is designed to identify, and award honours to, students who have the capacity to undertake studyat an advanced level and to make an original contribution to the fundamental science and practice of spatialscience. The award of honours will be determined by academic performance and is normally based on astudent's grade point average (GPA).

Program objectivesA student who successfully completes the Bachelor of Spatial Science should be able to demonstrate:

● a broad knowledge of basic scientific and technical skills● a high level of computer literacy skills appropriate to their field of study● a high level of written and oral communication skills● a capacity for analysis, evaluation and synthesis● an understanding of, and ability to undertake, the processes required to collect, store, and manipulate a

variety of spatial data● a capacity to adapt to change and to apply innovation● an understanding of the natural, social, professional, industrial and technical environments in which they

will practice● a knowledge of professional journals and other information sources related to the spatial science industry,

the skills required to access information from those sources, and an aptitude to undertake further learningand study

● an ability to undertake applied research in a field of the spatial science discipline● a knowledge of the financial and management principles and practices that are used to manage a

professional office● a knowledge of surveying, spatial information systems or urban and regional planning of sufficient depth

to gain employment, certification and, where appropriate, registration as a Professional Surveyor, SpatialScientist or Planner.

Program fees







Program structureThe Bachelor of Spatial Science is a 32-unit program consisting of Academic courses and Practice courses.


Practice courses are zero unit courses and each involves approximately 50 hours of student work. The onlygrades available for a Practice Course are Pass (P) and Fail (F). A Practice Course is designed to enablestudents to acquire specific competencies associated with their major study. The competencies range fromspecific practical and communication skills through to generic competencies relating to ethical and socialresponsibility, awareness of the environment, teamwork, etc. For an external student a Practice Course generallyinvolves attendance on-campus for a one-week residential school.

Program completion requirementsThe Bachelor of Spatial Science Program normally involves four years of full-time study or eight years ofpart-time study.

Students must complete the program within a maximum period of six years of full-time study, or 12 years ofpart-time study, from the date of their initial enrolment. To graduate from a particular major students mustsuccessfully complete all of the core courses plus the specialist and Practice courses in that major, includingthe required number of Electives.

Required time limitsFull-time students have a maximum of six years to complete this program. Part-time students have a maximumof 12 years to complete this program.














A pro-rata adjustment of the maximum time period will apply for those students who transfer from one modeof study to another. A pro-rata reduction in the maximum time period will apply to students who are admittedto a program with advanced standing.

Practical experiencePractical experience is desirable and encouraged but is not required for the completion of the Bachelor ofSpatial Science program. Students are encouraged to obtain practical experience during vacation periods.



External students are required to attend a number of residential schools during their program. These areassociated with Practice courses and are normally conducted at the end of Semester 3 (February), or duringthe mid-semester recess in Semester 2 (September/October).

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 thatcourse. Practice courses may not be taken earlier than shown except with the permission of the Faculty ofHealth, Engineering and Sciences. In some cases students may enrol in two Practice courses in one term sothey can complete the two residential schools in a two-week period. The actual dates for each residentialschool are shown in the Residential School schedule in this Handbook.


Practice courses

The majority of the practical and professional experience requirements for the program are contained withinthe major recommended enrolment pattern in the following table. These are zero unit courses, which are acompulsory part of the program, however they do not attract a student contribution charge for AustralianResidents or a tuition fee for international students.

Elective courses

Elective courses are included in the list of Academic courses. Students should select these courses from theElectives list. Students may undertake only one appropriate level five or level eight course from this programor another program in the area of Engineering and Built Environment as an Elective with the approval of theFaculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences.

ArticulationGraduates of an Associate Degree in Spatial Science majoring in Surveying or GIS, would normally be eligiblefor up to 16 units of credit towards the Bachelor of Spatial Science Technology within the same field. Similarly,Bachelor of Spatial Science Technology graduates would normally be eligible for up to 24 units of credit











towards the Bachelor of Spatial Science degree within the same field. Graduates of an Associate Degree inSpatial Science majoring in Urban and Regional Planning would normally be eligible for up to 16 courses ofcredit towards the Bachelor of Spatial Science within the same field.

Students who have completed an associate degree or certificate program in surveying more than five yearsago are eligible to claim advanced standing. The number of units of advanced standing granted will dependupon the nature and currency of the studies undertaken, and on the major study undertaken.

The programs in Surveying, Geographic Information Systems and Urban and Regional Planning also articulateto and from each other and enable students to move between Surveying, Geographic Information Systemsand Regional Planning degrees, whilst still retaining a significant amount of credit.

Prospective students who wish to upgrade an existing qualification should contact the Faculty to obtaininformation about likely exemptions and recommended enrolment patterns for their upgrade program.

Exit pointsStudents who, for whatever reason, are unable to complete the Bachelor of Spatial Science and who satisfyall of the requirements of either the Bachelor of Spatial Science Technology, the Associate Degree of SpatialScience or the Diploma of Engineering Studies may be permitted to exit with that award.

HonoursThe Bachelor of Spatial Science may be awarded with Honours. The class of honours to be awarded to astudent is dependent upon:

● the Grade Point Average calculated from the grades achieved in the courses studied in, or transferred to,the program;

Electives/Approved coursesAppropriate approved courses in each major are shown in the tables in the Recommended Enrolment Patternsection. The Program Director may approve a variation in approved course studies where the student candemonstrate that there is a sound academic argument for the change. Arguments based on timetable difficulties,quota problems etc. will not normally be entertained. Note however that students who wish to enrol in a courseother than those listed must obtain the written approval of the Program Director prior to enrolling in the courseif they want the course to count as credit towards their award.

Students should note that quota restrictions may preclude their enrolment in particular approved courses asstudents enrolling in these courses as part of their core or major studies will be given enrolment priority.

Practical experienceTo be eligible to graduate from the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), students must obtain an aggregate ofat least 60 days of suitable work experience during their program. This experience may be in an engineeringoffice or laboratory where the student would be working principally with professional engineers and engineeringassociates. It may, however, be preferable for students to spend some time in field or factory activities to gaininsight into industrial practice and to see what is involved in converting designs into finished products. Studentsare required to enrol in ENG4909 Work Experience - Professional in the latter part of their program and keepa record of appropriate experience as specified in the Course Specification. The work experience is to beendorsed 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 work experience to satisfy this requirement.The record of work experience must be made available for perusal by the Faculty of Health, Engineering andSciences upon request. The acceptability or otherwise of employment experience, and the period of that typeof experience that may be credited towards the 60 days, will be determined by the Examiner of ENG4909Work Experience - Professional.

Credit or exemptions for ENG4909 Work Experience - Professional will not normally be considered.

IT requirementsStudents should visit the USQ minimum computing standards to check that their computers are capable ofrunning the appropriate software and versions of Internet web browsers and to check the minimum andrecommended standards for software.



External students must attend a number of residential schools during their program to obtain experience inpractical and professional activities appropriate to the program. The residential schools are included in Practicecourses which are conducted in Semester 3 or during the recess periods. The dates for each residential schoolPractice course are shown in the Residential School Schedule in this Handbook and external students should
















ensure they are able to attend the residential school prior to enrolling in a Practice course. Personal protectiveequipment is compulsory in many engineering, construction and spatial science laboratories, students shouldconfirm the requirements before attending residential schools for Practice courses.


ENG3902 Professional Practice 1 and ENG4110 Engineering Research Methodology are to be studied in thestudent's penultimate year. Upon completion of ENG3902 Professional Practice 1 and ENG4110 EngineeringResearch Methodology, students must study ENG4111 Research Project Part 1, ENG4112 Research ProjectPart 2 and ENG4903 Professional Practice 2 in the same academic year.
