Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours)
Adelaide University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 04249J
Our Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours) provides solid grounding in the core knowledge, principles, technical and professional skills essential to mechanical engineering. You'll study core courses covering the building blocks of mechanical design: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, dynamics, vibration, control and thermodynamics. Our wide range of electives give you the freedom to explore a little bit of everything. Or you can focus on the areas of mechanical engineering that most interest you - whether that's advanced materials and mechanics, humanitarian engineering, or net-zero transitions. But it's not all theory. You'll also have multiple opportunities throughout your studies to jump on the tools and put your learning into practice. Design-and-build projects, practical workshops and up to 450 hours of industry placement provide plenty of chances to hone your technical and professional skillset. All of these experiences come together to ensure you'll graduate with the knowledge, technical and professional skills needed to thrive in your career as a qualified mechanical engineer.
