Articulation, credit transfer and flexible delivery of engineering degree courses: Australia, Malaysia and Hong Kong

This paper describes the three different levels of undergraduate engineering courses offered by many post Dawkins universities in Australia. Emphasis is placed on the recent course review by Faculty of Engineering and Surveying at the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) and how the review has facilitated articulation between programmes of study and encourages credit transfer from universities or other institutions within and outside Australia. Articulation and credit transfer arrangements that have been developed with a number of international institutions are outlined. Flexible delivery and its influence on student demand for USQ courses are also considered.
