Engineering the technology of tomorrow



From the aerodynamics of aerospace vehicles to the intricate movements of artificial organs - mechanical engineering is the driving force behind these moving marvels and countless others, from high-speed elevators in towering skyscrapers to the powerful engines that provide power to our cities.



Mechanical engineering is about mastering the design, manufacturing, and control processes to innovate the future generations of intricate machines. In this degree, you will delve into technical concepts and theories, learning how to make these machines work seamlessly and efficiently. You will be equipped with the tools to bring your ideas to life through our cutting-edge workshops, including creation and innovation studios, and Computer, Automation, Robotics, and Mechatronics laboratories, to provide the perfect platform to hone your skills.



What will you do?



Our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) has strong links to industry and a focus on design and creativity. You will:


  • explore core mechanical engineering disciplines such as aerospace, mechatronics and robotics, mining engineering, and petroleum engineering
  • complete design-build projects
  • gain hands-on experience in state-of-the-art facilities like our flight simulator, gas turbine, IC engine, wind tunnel, advanced structures and materials labs
  • benefit from internships, placements and projects with experts in the field
  • complete an eight-week practical experience.


In your final year you’ll apply your advanced capabilities in an industry-focused research project.



Majors are available in:


  • Aerospace engineering
  • Biomedical engineering
