Mechanical engineering
Design the machines of tomorrow
,
Mechanical engineering is a diverse field which takes a knowledge of movement and uses it to create innovative mechanical systems which improve the way we live.
More than just machines and engines, studying mechanical engineering will see you cover topics such as human centred design, advanced materials, and environmental studies.
Mechanical engineers design, analyse, manufacture, and maintain the mechanical systems which are critical to a wide range of industries. This means they play an important role in many technology-driven industries, from environmental to biomedical, aerospace to transport.
As a mechanical engineer, you’ll design and maintain of a wide variety of machines. These could include power generation and transport systems, renewable energy and environmental systems, computing and biomedical systems, or vehicle and engine design.
There is growing demand for mechanical engineers in the environmental, biomedical, aerospace and nanotechnology fields, a mechanical engineering career can be diverse, with opportunities to innovate around every corner.
The following degrees are accredited by Engineers Australia:
Our graduates are also recognised internationally through the Washington Accord of the International Engineering Alliance. Your degree can take you anywhere in the world.
There are many reasons to study mechanical engineering at the University of Sydney:
I love the diversity a mechanical engineering degree offers – I can go from a lecture on manufacturing to one about designing efficient wind farms.”
