If you are inspired by great engineering achievements, this degree is for you. As part of your core first year, you will develop a strong foundation in basic science and engineering principles, practice and management. You will study over a range of engineering areas, to help you decide where your engineering passion lies. You will learn about current industry practices from passionate academics who are leaders in their fields. Our degree has a strong practical focus and from your first year provides you with the opportunity to develop work-ready skills as our teaching focuses on `learning by doing'.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines including the design, analysis, manufacture and maintenance of mechanical systems. This major is built on a strong foundation of theory and reinforced by practical experience - all underpinned by our ethos of learning by doing. You will be involved in the development and use of new materials and technologies, as well as design and analysis using advanced software and computer systems.

PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION

Accreditation ensures academic institutions consistently meet national and international benchmarks and engineering graduates of an accredited program are assured membership with Engineers Australia at the relevant career grade and enjoy reciprocal privileges by equivalent professional bodies overseas.

Mechanical engineering is the most diverse of all the engineering disciplines, which means you will be able to use your skills in a variety of avenues including design, research, development or production. As a graduate, you will be qualified for a career in medical, automotive, aerospace, renewable energy, marine and sports-related sectors.
