Bachelor of Engineering Science (Mechanical)/Master of Engineering

Study 100% online, or on-campus with flexibility to study full-time or part-time, and learn from award-winning engineers and lecturers.

The Bachelor's component of the course develops the necessary core skills and knowledge for your specialisation. You then move to the more advanced Master's level of study, and finish the course with a research thesis and design project.

The Bachelor's degree will provide you with a sound base of fundamental engineering principles, followed by specific learning in the theory and practice of your specialisation. The Master's degree will expand your engineering specialist knowledge, with an emphasis on the themes of sustainability, creativity, teamwork, design, research and leadership.

As a professional mechanical engineer, you are involved in the design and build of large and small devices which improve transportation, and provide affordable manufacturing and production solutions. Key areas include mechatronics, robotics, biomechanical applications, aeroplanes, cars, pumps and pipelines.

The program includes two 12-week work placements, ensuring that you are familiar with current engineering practice and begin to create your network of engineering contacts for future employment.

The Bachelor of Engineering Science (Mechanical) of this combined course is provisionally accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of engineering technologist. Engineers Australia initially gives provisional accreditation for new engineering courses - full accreditation can only be obtained after the first students have graduated. The Master of Engineering of this combined course is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of professional engineer and therefore recognised internationally under the Washington Accord.
