Course outline

Mechanical engineers design, build and maintain complex machines and mechanical systems from the very small to the very large scale. Students will learn the finer points of engineering and machine design, fluid mechanics, and production engineering which will enable them to make systems and machinery for diverse industries from transport to medical devices.

In this program students will learn to use mathematical and scientific principles to solve a range of technical problems. They’ll get hands-on experience through 12 weeks of work experience while they experience a broad array of courses covering areas like design, sustainability, modelling and management and leadership. They’ll get to manage a major final-year research project on a topic of their choice and learn from industry professionals through guest lectures that expose them to current engineering professional practice.
