Overview
Through this degree program students can combine the concepts of petroleum engineering with mechanical engineering. The petroleum program integrates core petroleum engineering with geosciences and management and builds a strong foundation of mathematics, physics, geology, geophysics, computer applications and engineering principles. The mechanical engineering program has a strong focus on design with a design and build project in second year followed by a more advanced project in third year and a large design / research project in the final year. This program provides a core understanding of mechanical disciplines and problem solving skills.
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) (Petroleum and Mechanical) is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 5 years.
Academic Program Rules for Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum and Mechanical)
