Bachelor of Engineering Technology
(Professional Honours in Road Engineering and Construction)
{tab Overview}
Course Objectives
This course is a joint arrangement with the Centre for Pavement Engineering Education and the School of Engineering at UTAS. CPEE offers industry recognised courses in specialist areas of Infrastructure Asset Management and Road Construction. CPEE has strong links with Austroads members particularly the state road authorities that have collaborated in producing road engineering construction standards and guidelines. These recently published Austroads documents have been adopted by road authorities in Australia and New Zealand. This course has been designed to assist with the understanding and dissemination of this information to practising engineers and is based on Austroads publications. The course provides a specialist capstone year for qualified engineers who wish to focus work in this area.

{tab Commonwealth Supported Places}
COMMONWEALTH SUPPORTED PLACES
All Commonwealth supported places are substantially subsidised by the Australian Government so that students only pay 'student contribution' amounts for their units of study.
Eligible Commonwealth supported students (Australian citizens and permanent humanitarian visa holders) can use a HECS-HELP loan to help pay student contribution.
To be eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place, students must study onshore - for more information please see HECS-HELP Loans.
Commonwealth Assistance Form (CAF)
It is a legislative requirement that you complete a CAF if you want to take up a Commonwealth supported place. To complete an eCAF log in to the Universities eStudent, and click on the Commonwealth Assistance tab.
If you use HECS-Help and defer your fees, you will need to include your Tax File Number (TFN).
Even if you pay your fees up-front or have a full scholarship, you still need to complete a CAF but you don’t need to include your TFN.
{tab Full Fee Places}
FULL FEE PAYING PLACES
A Full Fee Paying place is not Commonwealth supported, that is, not subsidised by the Australian Government. If you are a domestic student in a Full Fee Paying place you must pay full tuition fees for your studies.
Eligible Full Fee Paying students (Australian citizens and Permanent Humanitarian Visa holders) may be eligible for a FEE-HELP loan to pay all or part of their tuition fees.
