The Mechanical Engineering plan provides a versatile, comprehensive coverage of areas involving the conception and design of machinery and mechanical plant, the supervision of its construction, operation and maintenance, the planning and supervision of large engineering projects, and general engineering management. Due to its wide range, a number of options are provided as Technical Elective courses in the final year. These are preferentially linked to provide a direction appropriate to the needs of Australian industry and to the specific interests of students, although some flexibility is available if required. Typical fields which may be encompassed by the program include building services, computer-aided design, power generation, energy and environmental systems, gas and liquid handling, bio-mechanics, materials handling, control systems and transport. An emphasis is placed on the application of engineering science, development and management in these fields.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE FOR STUDENTS WHO ENROLLED PRIOR TO 2006 IS AS FOLLOWS:-

Twenty-four units of credit of Technical Elective courses are required. They may be selected from the postgraduate list of courses of the School or from Years 3 and 4 courses from other programs run by the School. Pre- and co requisite requirements must be satisfied.
Approval is required for the selection of any course from outside the School.
Due to staff availability and to demand, it is likely that not all of the Technical Electives will be always on offer. Students are advised in November which Technical electives will be offered in the following year.
