MDDU-MCENG v.2 Mechanical Engineering Double Degree Major (BEng Hons/BCom)
Curtin University
This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information. Mechanical Engineering addresses the conception, design, manufacture, control, maintenance and management of any system in which motion is a key feature. The system may comprise moving solid elements - components - combined to create a mechanism or machine. Alternatively, it may involve a fluid flowing within or around a solid structure. Mechanical Engineering permits humanity to harness the energy and forces that exist in nature, providing for the needs of society. The range of Mechanical Engineering is therefore vast: machines from the size of micro-mechanical devices through to massive power generating turbines are covered by the discipline. Similarly, the flight and performance of modern aircraft is largely an accomplishment of Mechanical Engineering. The work of a mechanical engineer could include the design and specification of components or entire systems, design and planning of manufacturing processes, plant operation and maintenance, consulting, research and development, and management. These tasks are common to a wide range of industries such as power generation, mining, mineral processing, transport, water supply and their support industries. Course Accreditation This course is accredited by Engineers Australia. Professional Recognition Graduates fulfil the stage one competencies stipulated by Engineers Australia (EAust) as the pathway to chartered engineer status (CPEng)

MDDU-MATHS v.2 Mathematics Double Degree Major (BSc/BCom, BSc/BA)
Curtin University
This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information. Mathematics is the study of concepts such as quantity, structure, space and change and the application of these concepts to model and describe the behaviour of real world complex systems. It has been described as the science of patterns, whether found in numbers, space, science, engineering, industry, computers, imaginary abstractions, or elsewhere. Through abstraction and logical reasoning, mathematics evolved from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Today, mathematics is used in most fields, including technology, natural sciences, engineering, medicine, finance and the social sciences such as sociology and psychology. Employment prospects are good as mathematics graduates have high level problem solving skills. Mathematics can be a stepping stone to a wide and diverse career. Our graduates have moved on into many different areas of employment such as finance, government, industry, defence and research as many employers are keen to employ graduates with a good background in mathematics.
