About the course

This course enhances the knowledge, practice and professional employability skills of engineers in specific discipline areas at an advanced level. Explore an integrated mix of specialist discipline complexity and evidence-based practice with future-focused professional skills development in a connected learning environment.

　　The mechanical engineering major provides advanced theoretical understanding and knowledge of current professional engineering practices in mechanical engineering. It focuses on the technical discipline area, sustainable and ethical considerations, and evidence-based practices.

　　This course is suitable for practising engineers who want to change engineering disciplines and attain postgraduate qualifications.

　　This two-year course provides a developmental path for professional engineers to master skills in selected engineering disciplines and the interaction of those disciplines. Enhance your skills in dealing with more complex engineering problems and interactions between engineering technical domains and the broader context in which they exist.

　　You'll develop post-professional knowledge and skills in a range of engineering disciplines, and build the abilities to become a leader in your chosen engineering field. The program offers both theoretical understanding and practical applications of advanced professional engineering practices, with a focus on themed technical discipline areas and sustainable, ethical and managerial abilities.

　　This course has provisional accreditation with Engineers Australia. Professional accreditation allows graduates to work as a professional engineer in countries that are signatories of the Washington Accord.
