Mechanical engineering involves the conversion and control of energy and motion in machinery and systems. Mechanical engineers design, analyse and improve products as diverse as refrigerators, washing machines, solar water heaters, pumps, engines, compressors, wind turbines and air-conditioning systems. They apply knowledge of materials, structures, energy and management to the solution of technical problems. Management involves the planning, organising, coordination and direction of the resources of organisations. Managers draw on technical skills as diverse as accounting and organisational behaviour, and build on personal abilities including analysis and leadership.
Higher Maths or VCE Mathematical Methods (CAS)
In this course the major studies include development of knowledge related to materials, structures, energy and management to the solution of technical problems as well internal study related to refrigerators, washing machines, solar water heaters, pumps, engines, compressors, wind turbines and air-conditioning systems is also involved in this course.
Student must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 or an equivalent senior secondary school qualification with a minimum average of 70%. For information on international qualifications and corresponding entry requirements that are equivalent to an Australian Year 12, see the Entry requirements by country web page. Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognised post secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) is accredited by Engineers Australia.Graduates are eligible to apply for graduate membership of Engineers Australia and are recognised as professional engineers in all member countries of the Washington Accord. Corporate membership may be gained after a period of approved professional experience. Graduates of this degree may also be eligible to join professional bodies relevant to their specialisation.
Graduates work in the automotive and transport industries, petrochemical and mineral processing industries, energy supply, building services, defence forces, government, or general engineering and consultancy organisations. This double degree will propel student into management roles soon after graduation.
5 years full-time, Years 1 to 3 are conducted on the Melbourne City campus and years 4 and 5 are sha
