Overview

Many companies want engineers that combine the skills of electrical and electronic engineers with those of mechanical engineers. This combined degree takes all the advantages from both degrees, both of them accredited at the professional level. The interplay between developing solutions in mechanical engineering and the need to understand electrical and electronic engineering is widespread. This degree provides the education to understand both sides. This degree is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of professional engineer. Professional engineering courses accredited by Engineers Australia are recognised internationally under the Washington Accord. Graduates meet the academic requirements for attaining chartered professional engineering status.

This degree has been designed to provide a strong foundation in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of engineering, particularly those relevant to the systematic development of electro-mechanical systems. An awareness of social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of electrical and electronic engineering, and mechanical engineering are also central to this course. It provides an ability to critically analyse and evaluate information, solve problems and provides understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and a commitment to them. Also included in the degree is a structured engineering work experience placement and an opportunity to undertake a substantial research-oriented project.

On completion of this degree students will be able to competently use professional skills and knowledge in the systematic development of complex electrical and electronic, and mechanical engineering systems and demonstrate a broad understanding of the electrical and electronic, and mechanical engineering disciplines.

Students will apply their skills and knowledge in a professionally responsible manner and be able to communicate effectively with other engineers and the wider global community using a wide range of communication technologies. Students will develop engineering solutions appropriate to the social, political, international, economic and environmental contexts in which they are applied and engage in the process of continuing learning needed to retain the necessary level of professional skills and knowledge in the area of electrical and electronic, and mechanical engineering.

The double degree course provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.
