Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours)

Adelaide University

Mechanical engineers are experts in all things that move with the help of machines. They design, build, and maintain the systems that power cars, aircraft, robots and wind turbines. But they don’t stop there. They come up with solutions to address global challenges – like designing low-cost medical devices to expand healthcare access or building smart irrigation systems for farmers in drought-prone areas. With a strong practical focus, our degree ensures you’ll graduate with the expertise and experience to thrive in your engineering career. Our Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours) provides solid grounding in the core knowledge, principles, technical and professional skills essential to mechanical engineering. You’ll study core courses covering the building blocks of mechanical design: solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, dynamics, vibration, control and thermodynamics. Our wide range of electives give you the freedom to explore a little bit of everything. Or you can focus on the areas of mechanical engineering that most interest you – whether that’s advanced materials and mechanics, humanitarian engineering, or net-zero transitions. But it’s not all theory. You’ll also have multiple opportunities throughout your studies to jump on the tools and put your learning into practice. Design-and-build projects, practical workshops and up to 450 hours of industry placement provide plenty of chances to hone your technical and professional skillset. All of these experiences come together to ensure you’ll graduate with the knowledge, technical and professional skills needed to thrive in your career as a qualified mechanical engineer.
