Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Mechanical)

The first two years of the program include mathematics, physics and an introduction to the basic principles of design, structural analysis, thermodynamics, materials, fluid mechanics, control and computer programming.
This is complemented by laboratory and project work.
In the third year, courses are extended to develop students' understanding in these fields.
This is coupled with a design project, to prepare students for the final year.
The fourth year of the degree allows for some technical specialisation.
This is enabled through the completion of elective courses, in addition to project work and a management course.
Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved practical experience.
Academic Program Rules The Calendar is a comprehensive handbook of the University's academic program rules.

Some students may need to modify their enrolment based on previous study (e.
g.
students granted advanced standing/credit, students repeating previously failed courses).
ENGINEERING COMMUNICATION Unless exempted by the Faculty, all international students are required to take Engineering Communication.
At the commencement of study, the Faculty will advise which course is to be replaced by ENG 3003 Engineering Communication EAL.
COURSE AVAILABILITY^Check the course planner for course availability noting the availability of all courses is conditional on the availability of staff and facilities.
