Macquarie’s flexible Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) has a strong focus on practical learning.

Mechanical engineers are central to the production of almost every item we use. 

They analyse, conceptualise, design and manufacture items from the very small – such as micromachines – to the very large – such as aircraft.

The Mechanical Engineering specialisation will equip you with skills to design mechanical systems by providing you with a strong foundation in: 

Basic sciences, statics, dynamics, and the mechanics of solids, thermofluids and materials, and advanced knowledge in manufacturing, novel materials and microscale devices. 

You’ll learn to identify, select and apply mechanical engineering theory and analysis, modelling and simulation, and measurement knowledge to address complex problems with interdisciplinary components. 

You’ll learn to apply fundamental concepts and theory to mechanical components' design, operation and maintenance.
