Overview
Any design you could dream of can be brought to reality by a mechanical engineer. Mechanical engineers apply scientific and engineering knowledge to develop, design and improve the machines, products and systems we use every day. manufacture and operate machines and tools, which can then be used to develop things.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical Engineering) builds the skills and knowledge to design and manage mechanical systems. You鈥檒l explore areas such as computer-aided design, fluid dynamics, materials science, thermodynamics and power generation. You鈥檒l also see how these skills are used in fields like robotics, transport, energy, manufacturing and biomechanics.
Throughout the program, your knowledge will be put into practice through hand-on projects and engineering challenges. You鈥檒l also complete 60 days of industrial training, providing you with valuable workplace experience and the opportunity to develop technical and professional skills before you graduate.

- The 2026 Lowest Selection Rank (LSR) is the adjusted rank (ATAR plus adjustment factors) you would have needed to gain entry to this degree in 2026.
- The 2026 A levels score is based on four Advanced Level (A2) subjects. Entry scores are calculated from the best three or four A2 subjects (excluding repeated subjects) using the following values: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1. At most one Applied A Level subject may be included in the best four subjects used to calculate the aggregate.
- The 2026 IB Diploma is an indication of the IB you would have needed to gain entry to this degree in 2026. It is to be used as a guide only.
- The 2026 Lowest ATAR is the lowest ATAR (before adjustment factors were applied) to which an offer was made. Where <5 is listed, this indicates that less than 5 ATAR-based offers were made and so the score has not been published. N/A indicates no offers were made on the basis of ATAR.
