Study Plan Semester 2 commencement

The Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) Study Plan is valid for students commencing in Semester 2, 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.
