Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours)

Flinders University offers a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours) – a 4-year accredited degree that balances strong foundations in mechanical engineering principles with modern industry practices. The course equips students to design, develop and improve systems and machinery in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy, manufacturing, and biomedical engineering. Students graduate with a solid grounding in mechanical structures, materials, and systems, and the analytical skill to develop solutions to problems in today's evolving world of engineering.

Curriculum Structure:

The course has an ideal mix of theoretical education and practical implementation. Students study main subjects like:

• Mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics

• Materials science and structural analysis

• Computer-aided design (CAD) and control systems

• Dynamics, vibrations, and manufacturing processes

Practice-based learning is focused on. You'll be doing design projects, lab experiments, and scenario-driven problem-solving exercises that simulate engineering challenges. In your final year, you'll be doing a capstone project – an industry-embedded, team-based project that evaluates your capabilities.

Accreditation

The degree is professionally accredited by Engineers Australia, thus the graduates are deemed to have satisfied the Australian academic requirements for them to be professional engineers in Australia and around the world. It ensures the course is quality-approved and industry-relevant.

Campus Location

The course is delivered on Flinders University's Bedford Park campus in Adelaide, South Australia. The university offers state-of-the-art laboratories, simulator equipment, and workshops in engineering, and a vibrant and comprehensive campus community surrounds them. You will also have access to the Tonsley Innovation District, a global innovation centre for advanced manufacturing and engineering.
