COURSE VIDEO Where could a degree in engineering take you? 3:45 This degree covers all aspects of mechanical engineering including power generation, transport, building services, machinery, manufacturing, computer-aided design, advanced materials and environmental studies. You will learn how to analyse mechanical design using the principles of motion, energy and force to ensure the safety and reliability of products, and you will understand how efficient systems and processes support the manufacture of products at a competitive cost.Mechanical engineers design and develop everything you think of as a machine - from supersonic fighter jets to bicycles and toasters. The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Mechanical Engineering) will teach you how to design a mechanical component, a whole machine, a mechanical system and a mechanical process.As a mechanical engineering graduate you may specialise in areas such as manufacturing, automotive, transportation or air conditioning. Mechanical engineers work in the automotive, aerospace, chemical, computer, communication, paper, and power generation industries. Increasingly, mechanical engineers are needed in the environmental and biomedical fields; you may pursue a career in the expanding field of nanotechnology.

Study Plan
The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Mechanical Engineering) is undertaken full-time over four years. Students enrol in junior units of study with a maximum of 48 credit points during first year. A typical unit of study has a value of 6 credit points. From first to fourth year, students complete core units of study within the degree with some electives available in the fourth year to provide more specialised study at a senior level. Students undertake an Honours thesis or engineering project in fourth year.
