Overview
Through this combined degree program students can combine the concepts of mechanical engineering with arts. 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. In the arts program, students are able to specialise in areas of their choice by taking a ‘major’ (from one of 25 areas) and potentially a ‘minor’ (from a range of areas).
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) / Bachelor of Arts is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 5 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.
