Master of Engineering Technology (Mechanical Engineering)
Federation University Australia
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00103D
This is a professionally orientated program that provides students with the knowledge and skills that are necessary to obtain employment as a Professional Engineer and to be admitted as a Member of Engineers Australia. The program also serves as a preparation for further graduate studies in technology, business administration and other areas. Specifically the program provides students with advanced studies in Mechanical Engineering. As a Mechanical Engineer students will apply the principles of physics and mechanical science to the design and construction of all forms of mechanical systems. They will be involved in all aspects of design specification, development, research, evaluation, manufacture, installation, testing, operation, maintenance and management of machines and systems. This will include, but not be limited to, mechanical and mechatronic systems, automated systems and robotic devices, heat transfer processes, thermodynamic and combustion systems; and fluid and thermal energy systems. With a vast array of career opportunities a mechanical engineer will quickly find work anywhere in the world. Previous graduates have found employment with engineering companies large and small, both locally and all over Australia.
