Mechanical Engineering is a broad and diverse discipline and requires particular skills and knowledge. Trained professionals can choose to pursue a career in industries such as construction, mining, oil and gas, aeronautical, engineering management, power generation and distribution, renewable energy, aerospace, water resource management, robotics and manufacturing. Mechanical Engineering students will develop a range of practical skills through a combination of laboratory work and projects. As a B.Eng (Mech Eng) graduate you will be able to demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the engineering principles; solve problems creatively by designing and managing the production of new and improved machines, systems and processes; design, optimise and maintain machines, systems, and processes; measure and control the performance of machines and systems in the real world and carry out an innovative, conceptual and detailed design of systems and components.

Mechanical engineers are in high demand regionally and internationally and job opportunities are plenty. Students undertaking the B.Eng (Mechanical Eng) typically enter professions such as a: Mechanical engineer Aerospace engineer Automotive engineer Product Design Engineers Control and Systems engineer Maintenance engineer Analysts and consultants Nuclear engineer Reliability engineer Advanced Postgraduate studies in Engineering
