阿德莱德大学

Our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) has strong links to industry and a focus on design and creativity. You will:

explore core mechanical engineering disciplines
complete design—build projects
gain hands-on experience in state-of-the-art facilities
benefit from internships, placements and projects with experts in the field
complete an eight-week practical experience.

In your final year you’ll apply your advanced capabilities in an industry-led design and build research project.

Students commencing in July may have a slightly limited selection of courses.

Majors are available in:

Aerospace engineering
Defence systems
Mechanical engineering
Mechatronics and robotics
Medical technologies
Renewable energy
Smart technologies
Sports engineering

Career Readiness

Our graduates are leaders with sought-after skills and attributes. Industry demand for our graduates is high, and will continue to grow.

Mechanical engineers work in the fields of materials engineering, combustion, noise and vibration control, energy technology, control systems, robotics, quality management, bioengineering, aeronautics, space, fluid mechanics, water supply, mining, manufacturing, production planning, maintenance planning, consumer product design, pollution control, and failure analysis.

Our graduates have gone on to work with a range of organisations including the European Space Station, the Australian Institute of Sport, Boeing, BAE Systems, Santos, SAAB, and AGL.

Industry Placement

Students are required to complete eight weeks of approved practical experience.
