Aim

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) uses an industry focused, project-based teaching and learning approach to develop professional mechanical engineers who are well prepared to work in diverse, interdisciplinary teams to solve complex problems in a socially and culturally appropriate manner.

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; dynamics and kinematics; fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and sustainable design; materials and design for manufacturing; and manufacturing systems and engineering maintenance. The fourth year equips graduates for future leadership roles in the areas of advanced mechanical design, with particular emphasis on the manufacturing, defence, mining, mechanical design, automotive, and building and mechanical services industries.
