About this Degree

 
2008 | 2009

Master of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) M.E (Mech)
2008

Location: North Terrace Campus
Duration: 1 year (full time)
Degree: Masters by Coursework

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. 

This coursework program offers candidates the chance to specialise in cutting-edge technologies aligned to their career pathways. This 24 unit program is suitable for Engineering graduates with Honours who wish to pursue further studies, as well as engineers with relevant work experience. (Up to 12 additional units of enabling courses may be required depending on the exact nature of the applicants qualifications - this may extend study by one semester.) The program includes core courses (9 units) comprising statistics, system modelling, and management and is designed to provide generic skills applicable across all fields of engineering. The remaining 15 units are of discipline specific courses that provide additional technical material at a level beyond that of a first engineering degree. The selection of the latter courses will enable candidates to explore a sub-discipline at some depth or acquire further knowledge across a broad front.
