Mechanical Engineering with Space combines the broad foundation of mechanical engineering with specialised knowledge for space applications. From launch vehicles and thermal control systems to actuators, propulsion, and advanced manufacturing, mechanical with space engineers design and develop the machines that shape our world—and beyond.
The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Mechanical Engineering with Space) equips you with the skills to design mechanical components, complete systems, and entire processes, tailored for use in both terrestrial and space environments. You’ll learn how to analyse designs using the principles of motion, energy and force, ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliability of mechanical systems.
Through this degree, you’ll gain a strong foundation in mechanical engineering, while also developing capabilities in space-related fields such as microgravity mechanisms, satellite propulsion, and thermal control systems for spacecraft. You'll also learn how efficient design supports cost-effective manufacturing, using advanced materials and techniques.
Graduates of this program are well-prepared to enter a range of industries. You might specialise in space systems engineering, advanced manufacturing, or next-generation propulsion. Your skills will also be relevant in fast-growing areas such as biomedical engineering, sustainability, and nanotechnology. Alternatively, you may choose to continue your studies through a graduate program at Sydney, building on the strong platform this degree provides.
