The integrated Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) and Master of Engineering (BE (Hons)/ME) is the first 5 year engineering degree in Australia to integrate a semester placement, either in industry or research, into a degree with the Master's level course work. This unique combination in an undergraduate degree will provide graduates with world class knowledge and skills in their field of study as well as an enhanced ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams and across fields. These are the attributes required to tackle current and future issues facing society and to create value for industry and society through innovation. BE(Hons)/ME graduates will have a head start in careers that require specialist skills and adaptability (e.g. in consulting, corporate/governmental advising or industrial research) or when applying for research higher degrees at the world's top research institutions. Majors/Specialisations: Studies may be undertaken in the following specialisations: Chemical Engineering Chemical and Biological Engineering Chemical and Environmental Engineering Chemical and Materials Engineering Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering Civil and Fire Safety Engineering Electrical Engineering Electrical and Biomedical Engineering Electrical and Computer Engineering Mechanical Engineering Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Mechanical and Materials Engineering Mechatronic Engineering Software Engineering. Placement courses: Completion of 60 days of Engineering Professional Practice to satisfy the requirements of Engineers Australia. Some or all of this may be satisfied by a placement semester. Honours: Honours will be awarded to all graduates of this program. Closing date: Friday before Orientation Wk. Apply for the BE/ME (Sem 1 of 4th yr) to organise your placement. Apply through mySI-net after Sem 2 exam results are released until Friday before Orientation Wk (Sem 1).

UQ's integrated Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) and Master of Engineering (BE(Hons)/ME) degree is highly regarded and employment prospects are excellent. Engineers find employment, as consultants, in the government and in many areas of business and industry. Detailed information about employment opportunities for different engineering specialisations is found in the Engineering Prospectus.
