Log of Changes to Program Rules and Course Offerings

From 2019, CSSE2010, CSSE2310 and CSSE2002 are offered in both semester 1 and semester 2. This will increase the flexibility of course selections for many students.
From 2018, there are changes to the team project courses in B.Engineering(hons)(Software Engineering) plan. See http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/2018-bengineeringhons-software-engineering-plan-rule-changes for details.
From 2017, B.Engineering(hons) and B.Engineering students no longer have to apply for free electives courses to be approved. See https://www.eait.uq.edu.au/bachelor-engineering-electives for details.
There are a number of updates to the plan rules and course offerings which will take effect over the period 2017-2019. For continuing students, these particularly impact ENGG2800/3800/4810 and ELEC3300. Details are available here.
From 2015 the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) program became the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (BE(Hons)). Please see here for further details.
In 2012 there were changes to the B.E Program rules. For students enrolled prior to 2012, please see the Transitional Rules for Students Enrolled in ITEE Programs before August 2011
