About the course

Mechanical engineering at QUT offers you a balanced mix of theory and practice to prepare you for the work environment. You receive a thorough grounding in the engineering sciences and hands-on, practical experience in real-world problem solving and application of theory in a program that is strongly oriented towards industry needs. In this way, we'll make you fully prepared to work in every aspect of mechanical engineering from technical analysis to the operation and maintenance of equipment and systems. Our engineering courses, whether a single or double degree, now include honours-level content integrated throughout the course. A bachelor honours degree is a higher-level qualification than a bachelor degree, and along with the advanced knowledge and skills, it will benefit you in your professional career or future research and study. The duration of the degree remains unchanged: a single engineering honours degree is a four-year program, and a double degree is five years. Mechanical engineering turns energy into power and motion. Mechanical engineers design, create, improve and maintain systems and machinery that are used for private and commercial purposes. They keep pace with technology and act as an interface between technology and society, playing an essential role contributing to the sustainable and future development of industry.

　　Careers and outcomes
