Master of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) (087987K)

Develop the knowledge to implement new technologies, operating practices and systems in process, automotive, manufacturing, mining, energy and infrastructure-oriented businesses. Studying in the heart of Melbourne, the Master of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) will help you gain specialist knowledge in: advanced CAE, advanced dynamics, advanced control, advanced solid mechanics, advanced thermo fluids.
You’ll also build high-level technical knowledge and appropriate professional skills such as management, leadership and business enterprise. And, with a focus on project-based and multidisciplinary learning, you'll develop your professional engineering competencies in teamwork, leadership, problem solving, communication and research. Upon graduation, you’ll be ready to step up as a project leader, consultant or manager in the mechanical engineering space.
This degree incorporates blended learning which includes face-to-face teaching as well as intensive and e-learning delivery modes. You will undertake a comprehensive set of supervised laboratory work and industry projects with relevant organisations. The laboratory work will allow you to use specialist equipment and systems in mechanical engineering for both analysing and researching problems and solutions. Through common core subjects you will engage with the wider engineering community, enhancing your cohort experience and enabling multi-disciplinary learning. You'll have access to online resources through various student systems, including Canvas, the University’s Learning Management System.
This degree has strong links with industry through its Industry Advisory Committee and research and teaching collaborations. Many teaching staff are from local industry or have extensive previous industry experience and well-developed contact networks, and many are currently engaged in industry-funded research projects. These attributes, when integrated into teaching and courseware development, ensure that your learning experience is industry-relevant and work-integrated. The research project subject, undertaken in second year, provides opportunities for work-integrated learning (WIL) through industry-based projects.
Advances in the energy, mining, automotive and manufacturing industries are driving the need for mechanical engineers with advanced skills in the latest technologies. The Master of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) delivers. Graduates have gone onto work for companies such as the Ford Motor Company Australia, Air International (Futuris), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (China) and DNE New Energy Technology Ogy Ltd (China). With today’s employers seeking mechanical engineers’ skills across everything from mechanical systems design, advanced manufacturing and mechatronics to bio- and nanotechnology, you'll find employment in a wide range of fields – including construction, energy, infrastructure, mining, building services and food processing.
