BE Mechanical Engineering Honours

Deakin University offers a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) – a 4-year program that equips students with the theoretical and practical capabilities to design, manufacture, and service mechanical systems across a range of industries. The degree develops foundation skills in mechanical design, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and control systems. It's perfect for those who want to know how things work and build effective, sustainable solutions for real-world applications.

Curriculum Design:

The program integrates theory with practice, and it gears the students toward the needs of the real world for modern engineering roles. The curriculum is founded on:

• Key Mechanical Engineering Topics: They include dynamics, thermofluids, mechanics of materials, robotics, and system design.

• Design and Innovation Projects: Students take part in real-world problems from the start of the program, and they work through practical engineering and design solutions.

• Industry Placement: One of the most important features of the degree is the professional practice component, which offers students work experience in engineering environments.

• Capstone Project: During the third year, students tackle a major team project that combines everything they have studied and uses it to solve an engineering issue.

Accreditation:

The degree is professionally accredited by Engineers Australia, so the graduate is qualified academically to become a chartered professional engineer (CPEng), a very renowned position in Australia and internationally via the Washington Accord.

Campus Location:

Deakin's Waurn Ponds campus at Geelong, Victoria, is also home to the Centre for Advanced Design in Engineering Training (CADET) – a state-of-the-art specialist, purpose-built facility that offers students access to cutting-edge technologies, including 3D printing, wind tunnels, and mechatronics laboratories.
