Master of Engineering (Advanced) (Mechanical Engineering) M.E.A(MEn)
2008

Program Outline

Mechanical Engineering is concerned with the management of people and resources, the development and use of new technologies and the design and development of new processes and products, which mainly involve 'things that move', such as motor vehicles, aircraft systems, engines, pumps, gas turbines, industrial plants, airconditioning/refrigeration systems, manufacturing processes, building services and even space stations. 

Design is the backbone of the program. Within the program graduates will obtain the knowledge of design, engineering science courses, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine dynamics, control, mechatronics, materials, manufacturing and design for strength and function

Well-suited to graduates wanting more than the one year masters engineering program, this program gives the option of studying technical courses at an advanced level and the opportunity to engage in a research project.
 
A 48-unit program. Students will complete the requirements for the Masters of Engineering, with additional study comprising 12 units of more advanced technical coursework. A project to the value of 12 units introduces candidates to research.

Intending students should consult the program coordinator early in the year in which they plan to study to check when particular courses or projects will be available.
