- Did somebody say UQ was all theory and not enough practice?
We're certainly proud of our ability to teach the abiding things, and
advanced theory is the bedrock of an engineering career. However, our
programs have a component of project work and many courses incorporate
practical or laboratory work, using the latest
technology. Increasingly, courses are being offered in intensive or
flexible delivery mode, to suit those working full-time.
- Where is the best university teaching in Queensland?
Right here. UQ has been independently rated among
the top band of Australian universities for teaching quality and
number 1 in Queensland.
- Overall, UQ is rated among the top 33 universities in
the world (Times
Higher Education Supplement, 2007), the top 5 in Asia-Pacific region
(Shanghai Jiao Tong University study, 2007), the top 4 in Australia (Uni Melbourne
study, 2004) and number 1 in Queensland (all three studies).
- As one of the top four research universities in
Australia, UQ attracts high-quality academic staff, who excel in
innovation and commercial development. Their
research and industry links feed into curriculum design and teaching.
- UQ offers the largest range of postgraduate engineering programs in
Queensland.
- Our undergraduate programs, on which our postgraduate
programs build, are accredited by the leading Australian professional
engineering association, Engineers
Australia, and the Master and Graduate Diploma in Software
Engineering are also accredited at the
professional level by the Australian Computer Society.
- We are stepping up our investment in engineering
laboratories, to offer real-world equipment and resources. UQ is
participating in or negotiating collaborations with a number of other
leading institutions to provide world-class laboratory experiences. An
example is UQ's involvement in the Australian hub of the MIT iCampus
initiative. The School of ITEE is creating remote labs for its
students - real laboratories accessed via the Internet.
- UQ offers other great facilities, beautiful campuses,
a renowned sub-tropical climate, students from all
over the world, and international exchange programs.
