莫纳什大学马来西亚分校

Mechanical engineering is about turning energy into motion and power. It covers the generation, conversion, transmission and use of mechanical and thermal energy, and includes the design, construction and operation of devices and systems. It also involves the behaviours of solids, liquids and gases when forces are applied and when they are heated and cooled.

As a mechanical engineer you could work in research and development, product and process design, technical sales and support, manufacturing, field and test engineering, project management, systems design and power plant operations and quality control. You could work in the petrochemical, automotive, transportation, aerospace, electronic, mining and robotic industries.

Areas of study

LEVEL ONE:

Core Units:

• Computing for engineers
• Mathematics for engineering
• Engineering design A: lighter, faster, stronger
• Engineering design B: cleaner, safer, smarter
• Design C: engineering mobile applications

General Studies Unit: Leadership and Innovation

Elective Units: Select two units from:

• Chemistry I advanced
• Physics for engineering
• Mechanics of fluids (level two)
• Telecommunications (level two)
• Digital systems (level two)
• Introduction to Systems Engineering (level two)

When specialisation in the field of mechanical engineering begins at level two of the program, it focuses on engineering practice and the engineering sciences. At level three, engineering science and practice studies are extended to a professional level and students are encouraged to learn independently by utilising learning resources available to them.

Course structure

The common first year lays a foundation in the basic sciences of mathematics, physics and chemistry and introduces the disciplines available to you for further study. You will learn to apply your developing maths and science knowledge to real-life problems and begin to understand the interaction between engineering and society. Depending on academic performance and quotas, you can pursue a specific discipline from your second year of study.

Monash Malaysia campus students must undergo training in an industrial-based environment after their third year of study, as required by the Board of Engineers Malaysia’s Engineering Accreditation Council. After the 12-week training, students must submit a written report, detailing your work experience.
