The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Mechanical program at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is a comprehensive course that equips students with a solid foundation in theoretical and practical engineering principles. It focusses on the design, planning and development of machines, systems and tools used in industries as diverse as energy, robotics, transportation, and healthcare.
The program offers a mix of foundational sciences and specific mechanical engineering study. Students learn about topics such as thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, control engineering, and design and management. It combines theoretical coursework, practical work, and significant industrial training and professional practice.
The honours component allows students to carry out an individual research project in an area of mechanical engineering of their choice. This advanced study aims to develop skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, project management, and communication, and can lead to further academic research opportunities.
The degree is accredited by Engineers Australia and enables graduates to practice as professional engineers after a period of supervised work experience. Given the broad and thorough scope of the course, graduates from this program are well-prepared to design, maintain and innovate mechanical systems in a variety of industries worldwide.
