bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical)
Duration: 4 years
campus: Joondalup
Practicum: Yes
Mechanical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals
with the design, manufacture and maintenance of mechanical
components and moving systems.
Areas of study within the Mechanical Engineering course include
a foundation in physical and engineering sciences along with
engineering mechanics, computer aided design, computer aided
manufacturing, advanced engineering materials, thermodynamics,
fluid mechanics, control systems, heating and cooling systems,
and project management.
Students will graduate with competencies in all major areas of
mechanical engineering, and be able to participate in and lead
complex multidisciplinary projects.
The course focuses on the development of knowledge and skills
relevant to professional engineering practice and, along with a
sound theoretical base, includes strong elements of practical
problem solving, team work and project development. As a
result, as well as having multiple technical and transferable skill
competencies, graduates will have strong analytical skills and the
ability to lead complex projects.
Mechanical engineers have diverse employment opportunities
in most sectors of industry including product design and
development, manufacturing, road and transport, mining
and resource, public utilities, agriculture, defence, aerospace
and consulting.
Students taking this course also have the option to undertake a
specialist stream in Motorsports. This option provides a special
focus on automotive design and motorsports engineering.
Admission Requirements: Equivalency to Western Australia
Certificate of Education Mathematics (3C/3D) is required, and
equivalency to Western Australia Certificate of Education Physics
(3A/3B) is desirable.
Additional course Information:
Practicum Placement: During the course, students will be
required to undertake a minimum of 12 weeks practical work
experience located in an engineering industry environment.
This will normally be undertaken during a vacation period, even
though it is listed as a unit for Year 4 (ENS4111).
Professional Accreditation: Engineers Australia has granted
accreditation to this course.
CourSe StruCture
Requires the completion of 33 units / 480 credit points.
Students may include a specialist stream in Motorsports in their
degree by making the following unit selections/substitutions:
Standard unit Replace with unit
Elective 1 ENM1101: Race Car Anatomy
Elective 2 ENM2214: Computer Aided
Design and Manufacturing
ENS3220: Electrical Machines
and Transformers
ENM2209: Race Car Systems
These unit selections will prepare students to undertake a
motorsports/automotive oriented final year engineering project if
they so wish.
Students wanting to take this optional Motorsports stream
should consult with the course coordinator before commencing
studies. The course coordinator will advise them on the sequence
and timing of the elective and other units in their course to
accommodate the inclusion of the motorsports units.
