Become a control and instrumentation engineer skilled in both high-level engineering design, and software and hardware implementation of engineering systems. Throughout the course, students will develop skills in problem solving, teamwork and professional practice together with learning foundational technical content. Students will complete a major individual project that integrates both control and instrumentation knowledge and information and communication technology knowledge to confirm their ability to work as a control and instrumentation, and software engineer. This course has a strong focus on learning in context so students will apply theory to authentic scenarios throughout the course. For more course information, visit Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Control and Instrumentation) and Bachelor of Information Technology (Application Development).
Most units in this course are offered in online mode. Some units will have compulsory residential schools for online students. These residential schools give students an opportunity to develop and demonstrate practical skills. The Engineers Australia accreditation guidelines recommend a minimum of 40 days of on-campus experience for a professional engineering course offered in online mode.
Students are required to complete 480 hours (including a minimum of 240 hours of industry experience) of Engineering Professional Practice prior to graduation. Once the students have completed the professional practice requirements, they must provide evidence of how they have attained the professional engineering practice exposure required by Engineers Australia. For full course requirements, visit courses at CQUniversity.
