This degree provides students with 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. In addition to being a stand-alone degree, it can also be used as a pathway by graduates without an engineering degree to the University's accredited Master of Engineering (Mechanical) (2CM181) degree. Such a transfer can be done after completing at least one year of study.
Structure
Students complete twelve core topics and four option topics selected from a range of option topics available. These topics aim to provide students with the opportunity to gain knowledge in mechanical design, physics and materials, structures and renewable energy systems. Students who achieve an average grade of credit or higher at the end of Year 1, have the option of enrolling in an alternative second year program that includes an 18 unit Masters thesis and advanced coursework that will facilitate entry to a postgraduate research degree.
Standard entry requirements
Applicants must hold a bachelor degree or equivalent qualification in engineering or science.A knowledge of mathematics (equivalent to first year university mathematics), and science (equivalent to a university undergraduate topic in physics and other relevant sciences), is assumed.Applicants who hold an Australian TAFE Diploma or Advanced Diploma in an appropriate field and have 7 years' full-time equivalent relevant work experience (e.g. As an Engineer, Engineering Officer, Scientist, Technical Officer etc) by the commencement date of the course will also be considered.
