Mechanical Engineering Major

Overview

Mechanical engineering represents a broad branch of professional engineering, with its practitioners applying basic sciences to the development of technologies that enhance our quality of life.

This major provides students with the option to focus across a broad range of Mechanical Engineering technologies and activities - from the application of nanotechnology to the design of systems crucial to sustainable power generation, air conditioning, transport, steel production and mining.

This major best aligns with the Biomedical stream. You can not enrol in the Mechanical Engineering Major within the Mechanical stream.
