Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) (pre 2017)
The University of Newcastle
About
Mechanical engineers work to improve the design, safety and energy efficiency of the machines that support industry and society - machines such as vehicles, aircraft, mechanical prostheses, wheelchairs, lifts and industrial plant.
It is perhaps the broadest of all engineering disciplines and allows students to choose from the widest possible range of specialisations.
