About the course
The Master of Mechanical Engineering focuses on designing and building machines and engineering systems ranging from small-scale devices to air and spacecraft. It develops advanced capability in core areas such as mechanical design, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, supported by access to world-class facilities including wind tunnels, heavy engineering workshops and specialised testing laboratories. Students can tailor their degree through specialisations and apply learning through internships, industry projects and innovation challenges.
What you might learn
Students build advanced technical and professional skills to convert energy into power and motion and to design, analyse and optimise mechanical systems. The course develops deeper knowledge in key mechanical engineering disciplines (including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and manufacturing-related areas) while strengthening practical problem-solving through project-based and industry-aligned learning. Graduates gain an internationally recognised qualification designed to prepare them for professional engineering practice in diverse sectors.
Career outcome
Graduates are prepared for mechanical engineering roles across industries such as infrastructure and construction, manufacturing, mining and resources, biotechnology and aerostructures. Career pathways may include mechanical design engineer, manufacturing/production engineer, energy or thermal systems engineer, fluids/aerodynamics engineer, and aerospace-related engineering roles. The program’s industry projects and internships support transition into professional practice in Australia and internationally.
