Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with a specialisation in Mechanical Engineering
Macquarie University - North Ryde
Overview
Mechanical engineers are central to the production of almost every item we use. They analyse, conceptualise, design and manufacture items from the very small, such as micro machines, to the very large, such as aircraft.
The Mechanical Engineering specialisation will equip you with the skills you’ll require to design mechanical systems by providing you with a strong foundation in basic sciences; statics; dynamics; and the mechanics of solids, thermofluids and materials; as well as advanced knowledge in manufacturing, novel materials and microscale devices. You’ll learn to proficiently identify, select and apply mechanical engineering theory and analysis, modelling and simulation, and measurement knowledge to address complex problems with interdisciplinary components. And you’ll learn to apply fundamental concepts and theory to the design, operation and maintenance of mechanical components.
