Course Overview
Our Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering is a three-year course where you will immerse yourself in a world of innovation and possibilities. If it moves, you can be sure that a mechanical engineer is at the heart of that movement, harnessing their skills to bring machines and equipment to life.
Mechanical engineers are curious about how energy, materials and mechanics combine to develop machines and equipment. Whether it’s the innovation used to power space shuttles to distant galaxies, or robotics, mechanical engineers are at the forefront of the innovation and creativity driving the human race forward.
As a mechanical engineering technician or technologist you will develop the ability to visualise the end product or piece of machinery that meets a specific needs, and have the technical knowledge to bring it to life.
This course will foster your natural curiosity about how engineering tools can be applied to different products and services, positioning you to make the most of the numerous opportunities you’ll have upon graduation – including roles as Product Designers and Research engineers.
