This course is designed for aspiring professional engineers across a broad range of engineering disciplines, who seek to design, create, manage and improve complex engineering systems using cutting-edge technologies.
You can select from a wide range of specialised engineering majors, highly valued by industry and recognised internationally. Sub-majors and electives within these branches of engineering allow you to tailor your learning to your interests and encourage interdisciplinary study, providing you with exciting choices to tailor your career path.
Mechanical Engineering Major
Mechanical engineering is the broadest of all the engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers design, build and maintain anything that moves — from microscale sensors to jet plane engines, robots, biomedical devices, spacecraft, wind turbines and heavy industrial machinery.
In this major, you’ll study dynamics and learn to calculate and control the movement and interaction of solid objects, fluids, heat and power.
You’ll also study some electrical engineering subjects and will apply your learning through hands-on projects that help you build the confidence and ingenuity needed to push the boundaries of machine-based technology.
