Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) (Honours)
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
About
The overall objective of the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) (Honours) is to provide you with the skills to become an employable and effective mechanical engineer within a national and international context.
It is designed to prepare you for a wide range of career possibilities by developing particular graduate attributes which will be of on-going benefit to you, your industry and society as a whole.
As a graduate of this program, you will have been prepared to practise as an effective, high-level engineer.
You will have demonstrated the ability to utilise fundamental knowledge and skills in mathematics and the sciences which underpin engineering.
You will have demonstrated sound skills and appropriate understanding of disciplines relevant to mechanical engineering and its practice.
You will have demonstrated suitable design skills, appropriate creativity, intellectual discipline, and professional skills relevant to working with others.You will undertake a capstone experience in the final year courses OENG1167 Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B, in which you will conduct a research project that can be analytical, experimental, design-focused or computational in nature (or some combination of these).
In addition to this, you will have demonstrated the ability to communicate your ideas in a way appropriate to your profession and to the wider community in general.
You will also have demonstrated your ability to learn in a self-directed way that will support professional extension in your working life and that will lead you to adapt through technological and social change.
Furthermore, you will have demonstrated your ability to investigate complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods.
