A UQ Engineering degree is widely accredited and respected globally allowing students to work in Australia and overseas. Engineering involves finding innovative solutions to solve contemporary problems and engineers will be responsible for the future's exciting and innovative technology. UQ's flexible engineering curriculum equips graduates with the skills to work in both established and newly emerging areas of engineering.
This page provides information and academic advising resources for students enrolled in Engineering Programs Managed by the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering.
If you cannot find the answer to your question, you may need to see an Academic Advisor. While advisors are able to assist across most of ITEE's engineering programs, they have areas of expertise in certain subject areas. Refer to the table below to identify the academic advisor who best suits the nature of your enquiry, and then Contact or visit the School Office to book your appointment.

Electrical engineering is concerned with electrical and electronic devices and systems. This major prepares students to design cutting edge products for applications in communication systems, electronics, computer and digital hardware, automatic control systems and power systems. It involves practical hands-on experience with high technology equipment.
These resources include changes to the plan rules taking effect from 2017. Explanation of these changes are provided here.
Biomedical engineering bridges the gap between technology, medicine and biology. Through this dual major students study a broad range of foundation courses in engineering, mathematics, biology and physics followed by more advanced courses and laboratory training.
There were significant changes to the BE(electrical and biomedical) plan rules in 2017. These are detailed here. Students enrolled prior to 2017 should also view details about more general changes to course offerings detailed here.
These resources include changes to general engineering plan rules taking effect from 2017. Explanation of these changes are provided here.
Electrical and computer engineering is concerned with the design and management of computer-based systems including embedded systems and conventional computers. This dual major prepares students to work in innovative environments, designing cutting-edge products for information and communication industries.
These resources include changes to the plan rules taking effect from 2017. Explanation of these changes are provided here.
Mechatronic engineering integrates precision mechanical engineering with electronics, computer systems and advanced controls. Graduates will acquire the knowledge and skills to design and build advanced products such as robots and machine tools, scientific instrumentation and automatic suspension and braking systems which can apply to a variety of industry sectors including mining, aerospace and defence.
Software engineering deals with the challenges associated with the development, operation and mantainence of large-scale, high-quality software.
