Aim
The program aims to produce graduates who are responsible professionals and aspiring leaders, ready to apply their technical, communication, research and team skills to meet industry needs; designing and producing appropriate, effective solutions to complex local and global challenges.
Content & Structure
The program has a foundational first year that includes an introduction to mechanical, civil and electrical engineering to give a broad engineering knowledge so that graduates have an extensive understanding of basic fundamentals and an appreciation of the diversity of engineering. Courses in second and third years are arranged to give the program a practice based emphasis that provides engineering knowledge in the areas of mechanics and component design; fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and sustainable design; materials and design for manufacturing; and manufacturing systems and engineering maintenance. The fourth year offers the opportunity for specialisation to equip graduates for future leadership roles in the areas of mechanical design, advanced manufacturing, applied mechatronics, sustainable systems and systems engineering with particular emphasis on the manufacturing, defence, mining, mechanical design, automotive, and building and mechanical services industries. These specialisations each have a major individual project which is industry based.
