And so are we .  \nOver the last 18 months we’ve been busy reimagining the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program. We’ve talked with industry, alumni, our advisory boards, recent graduates and current students to ask them what skills future engineering graduates will need? And what will the future of engineering look like for these graduates?  \nFrom here, we’ve crafted a new curriculum that will place our graduates at the forefront of engineering in 2024, 2034 and beyond.  \nNew flexible first year.  \nA big change is to our flexible first year. We’ve reconfigured the curriculum to ensure you’ll think like an engineer from day one.  \nThis means, from the very beginning of your degree you’ll be engaging in hands-on learning experiences across all aspects of engineering-you’ll be in the labs and studios designing, building and doing engineeringand we’ve carried this extensive practical experience all the way through your program.  \nBachelor of Engineering (Honours)  \nFlexible First Year  \nSpecialisation  \nSpecialisation  \nSpecialisation  \nMajor  \n(or Electives)  \nMajor  \n(or Electives / Minor)  \nMore study options for greater career opportunities.  \nWhether it’s about adapting to new trends and innovations, or moving seamlessly across sectors, we’re o􀂔ering an education that gives you flexibility – no matter what you choose to do.  \nWith a greater selection of majors, we’re preparing you for the jobs of the future. You now have the opportunity to complement your engineering special isation with a major in one of the new and emerging areas of engineering. You’ll gain technical expertise, and sharpen your critical thinking and research skills to find answers to pressing questions.  \nIndustry has told us that some of the biggest challenges facing graduates in the future is dealing with big data. Our response-we’ve introduced new courses in programming for all students, as well as options to complete a minor in Data Science or Computing.  \nBachelor of Engineering (Honours)  \nSpecialisations  \nChemical Civil Electrical Mechanical Mechatronic Software  \nEngineering Engineering Engineering Engineering Engineering Engineering  \nMajors  \nAerospace  \n\n| Biomedical |\n| --- |\n| Bioprocess |\n| Computer |\n\nEnvironmental  \nü  \nü  \nü  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\nü  \nü    \nü ü    \nü   ü ü  \nFire Safety  \nü  \nü  \n Geotechnical  ü    \n General Civil  ü      \n Materials  ü   ü    \n Metallurgical  ü      \nMining ü ü ü  \n\n| Structural |\n| --- |\n| Transport |\n\nü  \nü  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\nWater & Marine ü  \nMinors  \nComputing ü ü ü ü ü  \nData Science ü ü ü ü ü ü  \nIndustry experiences throughout your degree.  \nContact with industry is threaded throughout the curriculum.  \nFrom your first semester, you will work on projects designed by professional engineers. Throughout your degree you will be supported by our Student Employability Team who can help you find that all-important graduate role. You will also have access to the latest industry-grade equipment at our makerspace-UQ Innovate-a place where you can collaborate and create in a friendly and supportive environment.  \nYou’ll work in teams to design and prototype scalable solutions to real engineering problems across all disciplines. Whether it is an industry design project creating a process for producing biofuels, or hands-on design, build and test experiences for biomedical applications, we are preparing you for your future-whatever it might be.  \nBy embedding these experiences throughout your degree, when you graduate, you’ll possess a distinct blend of creative and practical abilities. This will prepare you to deliver sustainable solutions that benefit communities all over the world.  \nChemical Engineering  \nChemical engineers play a critical role in transforming raw materials into useful products such as healthy foods, clean water, metals, medicines and sustainable energy.  \nDrawing on detailed process development, modelling an","cbCaihx4HdB8mx5k","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihx4HdB8mx5k","pdf",2774449,18,"English","# New Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)\n## Flexible first year\n## Specialisation and majors\n## Data Science and computing options\n## Industry experiences and employability support\n## Specialisations (Chemical, Biomedical, Bioprocess, Environmental)","[{\"question\":\"What is the core change in the reimagined Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program?\",\"answer\":\"The program introduces a new flexible first year designed so students think like engineers from day one.
