The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (BE(Hons)) degree focuses on how complex engineering problems that matter to society can be solved using engineering design principles and methods. At every stage of your degree, you'll be involved in conceptualising, designing and creating sophisticated engineering products, structures or processes. Our Mechanical Engineering programme is strongly based on project-based learning. It combines mechanical engineering, science and mathematics papers to give you a good understanding of engineering theory and practice. You will study topics such as mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis and electricity. In your second and third years you can choose papers to focus on either a Mechatronics Stream or a Manufacturing and Energy Stream.
