In this program at Federation University, you’ll learn about electric circuits and machines, thermodynamics and industrial robots in the world-class $43 million Science and Engineering precinct at the Mt Helen campus in Ballarat, Victoria.

Build a strong foundation in the first year with subjects in machine design, simulation in engineering and energy conversion. 

Then, in the final year, pursue an exciting area with your unique engineering project.

As an added benefit, the Industry Placement Program allows you to gain valuable and relevant work experience. 

Take part in a two-year professional development program and receive up to 26 weeks of placement and an industry scholarship of up to $15,000.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours) is a four-year program accredited by Engineers Australia – the global home for engineering professionals renowned as leaders in shaping a sustainable world.

As an accredited graduate, you will be involved in design specification, development, research, evaluation, manufacture, installation, testing, operation, maintenance and management of machines and systems. 

This will include but is not limited to mechanical and mechatronic systems, automated systems and robotic devices, heat transfer processes, thermodynamic and combustion systems and fluid and thermal energy systems.

The graduates are highly sought after by industry, and employed by large, medium and small engineering organisations, both locally and nationally.
