Mechanical Engineering with Space stream

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of the Mechanical Engineering with Space stream students will be able to:

No. Mid-level learning outcomes
1 Demonstrate mastery of established analytical methods commonly used in mechanical engineering, including those applied in space systems, based on fundamental principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials.
2 Demonstrate proficiency in using and interpreting results from advanced computational tools and simulation methods relevant to mechanical with space system design, including thermal control, fluid-structure interaction, and system dynamics.
3 Respond effectively to new, complex problems in both terrestrial and space environments by developing and applying mechanical analysis methods and space-relevant engineering tools.
4 Apply diverse innovation strategies to design, enhance and troubleshoot mechanical systems operating in extreme environments, such as space launch systems, satellite structures, and space-based thermal and power systems.
5 Plan, design, manage and evaluate safe, efficient, and reliable mechanical with space processes, services, and systems, including those for use in spacecraft, planetary rovers, and orbital platforms.
6 Recognise and respond to the interdisciplinary nature of mechanical engineering in space contexts, including integration with avionics, control systems, propulsion, and materials engineering.
7 Locate, interpret, evaluate, and manage research to support evidence-based decision-making in mechanical with space engineering projects.
8 Present compelling oral, written and graphical communication to effectively convey mechanical with space engineering concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
9 Contribute as an individual and as a team member in multidisciplinary and multicultural environments to deliver complex mechanical with space engineering projects.
10 Apply professional ethics, sustainability principles, and sound judgement in evaluating the economic, social, and environmental impacts of mechanical with space engineering systems.
