Program Overview

Diploma in Engineering
The Diploma in Engineering is designed to engage, and further prepare you for, tertiary study in Engineering / Engineering Science, developing core skills in mathematical and physics knowledge and skills. The Diploma incorporates units equivalent to the first year of the Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering Science degrees.

Students successfully completing the Diploma in Engineering will be granted entry into the second year of a Bachelor of Engineering Science course at Western Sydney University.

Leading to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program is designed for students with interests in learning to address humanity’s issues and challenges through the development and deployment of technical solutions.

This program spans all major engineering domains and prioritises industry relevance via an emphasis on work integrated learning to ensure students are career-ready on graduation. In addition to becoming technical experts in their chosen field of specialisation, students are also challenged to become collaborative and innovative problem solvers with an appreciation for the importance of sustainability and global citizenship.

Major: Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is a dynamic area involving the design and build of moving machines including engines that power transportation, industrial machinery, and a range of tools. Students put the core concepts of mechanical engineering, energy, thermodynamics, mechanics, kinematics, and fluid mechanics, into practical application in workshops, industry projects, and work integrated learning. Students design and construct machines and tools, monitor and evaluate their performance. Employment opportunities include automotive or mechanical engineer, control and instrumentation engineer.
