The Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) Study Plan is valid for students commencing in Semester 1, 2013.

Courses denoted with # are undertaken via the University of Southern Queensland (USQ). These courses are supported with a weekly tutorial on Campus at USC.

Students completing USQ courses MUST complete and submit the USQ Cross Institutional Study Application form to the Faculty office in H Block for submission to USQ each semester, prior to the USQ cut-off date.

Practice courses are undertaken at the University of Southern Queensland Toowoomba Campus during Residential School in the USQ Intra Semester Break or during Semester 3 at USQ which is over the Summer period. 

Please refer to Program Notes under the Program Structure for this program. Students need to refer directly to the USQ website for confirmation of Residential School dates.
