It seems UTS has found a way around the IT problem. According to
our informant (an academic at UTS):

    They have separated out the IT requirement and award a separate
    qualification (Industrial Training Certificate, or some such)
    just for fulfilling the industrial training requirement.

Presumably, to qualify for IEAust accreditation, one must have
a BE and this Certificate. Meanwhile, students who cannot get the
IT done can still graduate, and, if desired, go on to PG study.
