About the course

Product development and innovation are key drivers for industry. Mechanical engineers contribute to planning, designing, organising and overseeing the assembly, erection, commissioning, operation and maintenance of mechanical and process plant installations to roll products out of the production line. Mechanical engineers are employed in a wide range of industries including the automotive industry, aerospace and transport industries, power generation, refineries, insurance industries, building services, railway systems design, consumer goods design and production and management consultancies. This specialisation brings together studies in leading computer-aided engineering technologies, and advanced materials and manufacturing, while drawing on Deakin’s world-class research teams in a practical and applied approach to address structural mechanics problems. You will acquire a solid understanding of product and process modelling and designing for sustainability.

　　Study the Master of Engineering (Professional) and develop the research, technical and problem-solving skills to design and implement engineering projects as part of a professional team. Throughout this degree you will acquire advanced engineering skills and the forward-thinking and entrepreneurial skills employers are looking for. You will strengthen and extend your understanding of engineering through the pursuit of specialised study, graduating with an in-demand expert skill set.

　　The course focuses on practical hands-on learning, and research and professional practice skill development. You will undertake industry-led or research-based projects to strengthen the application of engineering knowledge whilst extending your understanding through specialised study. You will also have the opportunity to combine electives and gain a second specialisation. Choose from areas such as engineering management and learn how to influence business decisions.
