CHOOSE YOUR PLAN OR ENGINEERING DISCIPLINE
step2
First year engineering courses at The University of Queensland provide the foundation for many different types of engineering and therefore, you will be taking many of the same subjects as other first year BE students. • In first year, you need to decide which General Plan you will be taking: A or B (Table 1) • By second year, you will need an engineering discipline (e.g. Civil, Chemical or Mining). You can choose your plan or discipline by logging in to mySI-net (www.sinet.uq.edu.au) and following the prompts, or contact the Faculty for assistance. In Year 2, you should formalise enrolment in a discipline: either a single major (#50) with a complementary minor (#10), or in depth study in the same discipline (extended major #60).

Choose your Courses
step3
Once you’ve decided which plan, you need to enrol in courses by logging into mySinet www.sinet.uq.edu.au or via my.UQ at https://student.my.uq.edu.au and follow the prompts. Tables 2 & 3 on page 8 and 10 help you choose the correct order in which to take your courses to avoid issues such as timetable clashes and courses that are only offered in a particular semester. You will also receive a personalised report as part of the online quiz (Step 6) which may help you better plan your courses. Course selection needs to be undertaken with reference to the information below.
ELECTIVES - Please Note: There are restrictions on the number of level one electives which can be counted towards the BE. Consult the BE program list located at www.uq.edu.au/study for further details. Approval is required for enrolment in elective courses which do not appear on the BE list. Advice on obtaining approvals is available at: www.engineering.uq.edu.au/documents/BE_Electives.pdf

step4 sign-on for classes Sign on for classes electronically via mySI-net www.sinet.uq.edu.au or via my.UQ at https://student.my.uq.edu.au. As there are around 1000 students in the first year of the BE, we offer some classes more than once. In these cases, you need to choose: • One series of lectures to attend (L1 or L2); • One tutorial group to attend (T1, T2, T3 etc); and • One laboratory or practical group to join (P1, P2, P3 etc). For example, for ENGG1000 you may choose lecture stream 2 (L2), and project group 1 (P1) and for ENGG1010 you might choose practical session 3 (P3). Check your course profile for contact hours. For example; ENGG1000 - Class contact 2L3P = 2hrs overall of lectures (can be split over the week) and 3hrs of practical. It is up to you to manage the selection so that you are clear of timetable clashes. We suggest that you begin by selecting your ENGG1000 project group on the basis of your interest and then select your tutorial groups for your other courses to avoid clashes.
How to plan my timetable?
1
Go to mySI-net > www.sinet.uq.edu.au
DO NOT SIGN IN
2
Under Guest Links > select Course & Timetable Info
3
Search for one of your courses
> select correct semester
> select your course
Now you’re ready to put your timetable together: • Pick one course at a time, highlight the compulsory components and mark on the previous timetable page. • Select one component for each course, for instance, P2 in ENGG1000 and pencil in. Repeat this for each component in each course. (You may need to alter your timetable when sign-on becomes available if your chosen session is full) • Mark the weeks offered for each component (as these may only be offered in specific weeks) by checking the ‘Not taught on these dates’ on your printed timetables. What if my chosen sign on class is full?
> select & print
4
Repeat steps 1-3 for each course
• Choose an alternative time/day to fit into your timetable OR email your course coordinator with your request: Name, student number, reasons for your request, and potential alternatives. Details of your course coordinator can be located on the course profile at www.uq.edu.au/study.
What are these?
If there is only one stream (L, T, P), then all students must attend at this time. Further details regarding electronic sign-on can be found at www.uq.edu.au/ myadvisor/electronicsign-on.

step5
CHOOSE an engineering project will attend and it is recommended that you do this by selecting a project that is of interest to you. Some projects are offered on more than one afternoon and this will give you some flexibility with planning your timetable.
ENGG1000 (Introduction to Professional Engineering) is a foundation course for all UQ Engineering students and introduces you to the way professional engineers think and work. It is compulsory for all engineering students and is run in Semester 1 only.
It is recommended that you pick your project first, and then pick your tutorial groups for other subjects. This way, you can avoid clashes
There are two lectures and an afternoon workshop every week. You need to choose which workshop session you
and still do a project that you are interested in, and that will expand your discipline-specific knowledge. You will need to sign on to this project. Whilst most students will get their first choice of project, if your project group is full, you will need to sign on to your second or third choice.
Choose your project Project No. Description
P1
Water purification Discipline - Chemical, Chemical & Biological, Environmental, Materials Participate in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge (EWB – a non profit aid organisation) to investigate the problem of water treatment – you will design and build a system for water purification. On Demo day we will be looking to see how much you can treat in a limited time and to what standard.
P2
Autonomous water craft Discipline - Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Mechatronic, Computer Systems There has been an explosion on an oil rig which has resulted in an oil spill. Your task is to design and build and an automated, un-crewed watercraft to quickly recover oil before it disperses into the wider environment. How much will you recover on Demo day?
P3

step6 Students entering into the first year of engineering bring different levels of knowledge and experience. Some have studied Maths C, Physics, and Chemistry whilst others may have only studied one of these subjects. In addition, there can be some variation in the curriculum offered by domestic and international schools. This can mean that some students may have skill sets that require additional support to assist with their transition to university.
DO THE compulsory ONLINE QUIZ
The information gained through the Preparing for First Year Quiz is used in a number of ways:
The quiz is compulsory! Log on using your UQ login and password and follow the prompts.
• the overall cohort knowledge is fed back to the first year lecturers so that they can tailor their lectures to your overall knowledge;
www.engineering.uq.edu.au/ firstyear/preparation
• an individual report is generated and sent to your student email address indicating where you may need to do some revision and directing you to relevant resources; • you are aware of the knowledge expectations for first year engineering students and can revise accordingly; • you may also find that the information helps with selecting your courses. Results are not used for assessment purposes; they are used to let you know where revision may be required. Answering honestly will therefore give you the maximum benefit; there is no penalty for an incorrect answer.

READ UP ABOUT OTHER THINGS • a minor (#10) which complements your engineering discipline (e.g. a biomedical minor would complement either a computer systems or mechatronics major),
7.1 Minors, extended majors, dual majors
• an extended major which is a further #10 representing an in-depth study of one engineering specialisation
Your area of specialisation within your degree program is called a major and is made up of #50 of the #64 required to graduate. With some engineering specialisations you can take:
• a dual major which is a combination of two specialisations that requires #60 or
Table 4. available
minors & extended majors
You need to think about this when choosing your electives and consult an academic advisor for further advice. In mySI-net, a minor will appear as a sub-plan and if you want to take a minor, you need to tell the Faculty Office.

7.7 Studying Overseas Engineering students have the rewarding opportunity to enhance their degree by studying abroad for 1 or 2 semesters through the UQ Abroad program. UQ has partnerships with over 130 universities in 30 countries. Students studying overseas remain enrolled at UQ, continue to pay (or defer) fees, and earn credit towards their UQ degree. No additional tuition fees are paid to the host university. Depending on your BE specialisation and the university you go to, you can take equivalent compulsory courses, engineering electives or other electives. Most engineering students go on exchange after they have completed two years of study. Some overseas universities require you to start at a certain time of year and others require
you to stay for a whole year. The timing is dependent on your BE specialisation and the courses you would like to take. Your academic advisor can help you pick the right courses. If you need specific advice, you should talk to one of the academic advisors in your specialisation or visit the UQ Abroad website: www.uq.edu.au/ uqabroad.
7.8 The UQ Engineering Mentor Program Going from high school to university is a big step: there are new rules and expectations, the classes appear so big and impersonal, the work is much harder, and you are in charge! We figured that the best people to help you with this transition would be last year’s 1st year students – they’ve been there, done that, and are still wearing the t-shirt. The UQ Engineering Mentor Program connects you with a 2nd year engineering student who can pass on his or her knowledge and help you adjust to university life. Each mentor is assigned a group of 1st year students who they meet with for an hour a week. This gives you the opportunity to both learn the ropes, and to connect with other 1st year students. Mentors can help with everything from finding the cheapest textbooks and giving you tips for lectures, to easing your way into the social side of uni life. The mentors will also be able to answer queries by email. If you would like to be part of this program email Yr1Eng@uq.edu.au with the Subject ‘Mentor Program’. We recommend that you sign up before Orientation Week (21-25 February) as mentors will be helping with Project Day (24th February) and therefore there is an opportunity to meet with them then.
EQUITY & Diversity OFFICE All students and staff are entitled to work and study in an equitable environment, free of discrimination and harassment. The UQ Student Charter provides a guide on reasonable conduct and students’ responsibilities and expectations. The Respect DVD series has been developed to raise awareness regarding acceptable and appropriate behaviour and can be viewed on the Equity Office website. • Respect DVD & Equity Office www.uq.edu.au/equity/index.html The Student Grievance Resolution Policy outlines procedures for resolving a range of issues which may be of concern. If the grievance relates to discrimination, harassment or bullying, you can use the procedures outlined in the Discrimination and Harassment Policy and should also
consider contacting a Discrimination and Harassment Contact Officer (DHCO). DHCOs are specially trained staff and students who provide information regarding grievance procedures.
The UQ Ally Network has also been established as contacts for GLBTIQ students and staff.
If you feel that you would like further support, the UQ Union (Student Union) is also available to assist and advocate on your behalf.
Finally, as a student there are many ways you can help promote an equitable and fair environment where everyone feels valued, and discrimination and harassment are not welcome. For instance:
• Student Charter (3.40.1) www.uq.edu.au/hupp/index.html
• Respect the rights of others to say no
Student Services provides counselling, free support services, and additional facilities for students with a disability, illness or injury. • Student Services www.uq.edu.au/student-services • UQ Union www.uqu.com.au/#support-andrepresentation
• Treat all others with respect • Value and celebrate difference • Speak out if you witness unfair treatment • Take care not to tell jokes or make comments that may offend.
