Course Overview

About This Course

The Master of Mechanical Engineering (MC-MECHENG) teaches students to design and build tomorrow's machines and systems, from small scale devices to air and spacecraft, turning energy into power and motion through mechanical design, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and more. Students with a relevant undergraduate major can complete the degree in 2 years; once studying, they can specialise in Aerospace, Business, Manufacturing or Materials, or continue without specialising. Guided by experts in fluid mechanics, turbulence and biomechanics who have developed robots with a human touch, low-cost prostheses, and 3D printing to create jaws and save hearts, students access cutting-edge laboratories and a heavy engineering workshop, and apply skills in internships, industry projects and innovation challenges with industry mentors, graduating with dual accreditation in the Master of Engineering.

Hear From the Students

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful โ€” never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
