Program Overview

This combined degree option for high-achieving students gives you the opportunity to combine your Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with a Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours), allowing you to graduate as an industry-ready engineer with two Honours degrees in under six years, and set yourself up for an exciting and varied career pairing engineering with another passion – whatever that may be!

Major: Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is all about the development, installation, operation and maintenance of machinery, solving practical engineering problems and improving efficiency – putting mechanical engineering graduates in high demand in many industries.

Ideal for anyone with an interest in how things work and being hands-on finding solutions and innovations. You'll explore the theory and practise used in mechanisms, machines, vibration, manufacturing, control, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials, robotics, and computer simulation. You'll gain the knowledge and skills to work in industry to design new devices, and to carry out research into mechanical systems including the system operation and control.

As well as covering the core theories, methods and practices used in modern mechanical engineering, you'll get opportunities to specialise in areas of personal interest. The course has a strong focus on research and design and emphasises the necessary skills and ways of thinking to lead future change in this exciting field.

During your study you'll have hands-on experience with computer programming; use industrial equipment in laboratory classes and industry design standards and analysis software; and develop control methodologies for real mechanical engineering applications.
