These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).
Overview
The first two years of this program allows students to build a solid foundation in core mechanical engineering skills and knowledge and includes mathematics and physics with an introduction to the basic principles of design, stress analysis, thermodynamics, materials, fluid mechanics, physiology, anatomy, control and computer programming, complemented by laboratory and project work. Year three develops a more complex understanding in these fields, including aerodynamics, exercise physiology and sports materials coupled with a design project. In year four, more advanced courses in finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics and biomechanical engineering are included in addition to courses in management and the integration of the fundamental work in the previous years into a range of sports-related courses. The program culminates in a research project that allows students to apply their knowledge to a real sports engineering problem.
Students are also required to complete 12 weeks of approved practical experience during their study. Graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical and Sports) is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 4 years.
Conditions
Condition of enrolment
Interruption of program: Students must apply for permission from the Executive Dean or delegate before taking a Leave of Absence. Any extension of the leave without approval will result in the loss of place in the program but an application may be made to be re-admitted to the program subject to the admission procedures in place at the time.
