Mechanical Engineering Major  
MABUSP 
Y16 BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING BACHELOR OF SCIENCE 
 

The Mechanical Engineering major is available to students enrolled in any of the engineering double degree courses. Mechanical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the design, manufacture and maintenance of mechanical components and moving systems. Areas of study within this major include a foundation in physical and engineering sciences along with engineering mechanics, computer aided design, computer aided manufacturing, advanced engineering materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, control systems, heating and cooling systems, and project management. Mechanical engineers have diverse employment opportunities in most sectors of industry including product design and development, manufacturing, road and transport, mining and resource, public utilities, agriculture, defence, aerospace and consulting.

 

Students taking this major also have the option to undertake a specialist stream in Motorsports. This option provides a special focus on automotive design and motorsports engineering. Students interested in this stream should contact the engineering course coordinator.

 

The Mechanical Engineering major program consists of 15 units (225 credit points) of study as indicated below.
