Bachelor of Engineering - Mechanical

The future presents significant challenges for managing the environment, infrastructure and technological developments. Effective solutions to these challenges will require innovative engineering, applied science and design strategies.The UWS Engineering course prepares students to take on those challenges and succeed.

Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design of mechanical systems for a wide range of applications including manufacturing, transportation and energy conservation.

The course delivers fundamental engineering principles as well as an intensive hands on laboratory program to provide skills necessary for the design of machines - ensuring their functionality, safety and reliability. 

Part time-study is only available to local students and is generally completed by day classes as there are limited night classes.

A Career in Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is one of the longest standing of the engineering disciplines. As such, employment prospects are likely to remain strong in the long term.

Career opportunities include working in industries such as:

• Mining industry
• Biomedical applications
• Building services
• Energy generation and conservation
• Manufacturing
• Transportation
• Aerospace

You may focus on design and development, process control and management, or service and maintenance.
