1997 QUT Handbook

Special Course Requirements
A candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) must obtain at least 60 days of industrial
employment in an engineering environment approved by the Course Coordinator.
Candidates must, not later than the fourth week of semester following each period of industrial experience,
submit to the Faculty Office a report in the required format, describing the work carried out during the
period of employment and including an Industrial Experience Record Form signed by the employer.
Industrial Experience Record forms are available from outside the Faculty Office, Room 1006, ITE Building,
Gardens Point Campus.
Environmental Engineering Major
Students may elect to enter the environmental major of the course at the end of Year 1 full-time. This will
involve taking, over the length of the course, 96 credit points of alternative core units, prescribed elective
units from the main course and some environmental based topics in design units and project. Further
information about the Environmental Engineering major is available from the School of Civil Engineering.
