Subject descriptions
1. Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
The department was first established after the Second World War, although the course in Mechanical Engineering began in 1907 as a faculty stream. An industrial engineering degree was added in the late 1950s. In 1988 an extensive review of the curriculum led to the undergraduate courses being restructured into a new, single degree course in mechanical and manufacturing engineering with students having the option to choose between streams from their third year onwards. In 1994 an additional stream in environmental engineering was added. A 1995 review of the Department by a team from the U.S. and U.K. ranked its research and teaching at the highest international standards. In 1996, the five year combined degree in Mechatronics commenced. It is unique in Australia. Mechanical and Manufacturing engineering applies human and material resources to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of machines (supported increasingly by sophisticated computer technology) to move people, goods and materials; generate energy; produce goods and services; and control pollution and dispose of wastes. It interacts with all other branches of engineering.
First-year students get a flexible, broad scientific training in mathematics, computing and physics and an introduction to engineering.
Second-year students go on with mathematics and statistics and are introduced to engineering design plus basic mechanical engineering sciences (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mechanics of solids and machine dynamics) and manufacturing science, materials, electrical engineering and computational methods.
Third and fourth-year students continue mathematics, engineering science, design and materials studies, but increasingly choose to specialise in aspects of applied mechanics or manufacturing.
Fourth year includes a major research project and electives in Engineering and Management. Students planning to enter industry directly after graduating can choose how best to prepare for their careers, bearing in mind that many design and research engineers move into management.
In laboratory and research work students have access to specialised facilities for materials testing and robotics and a heavy engineering workshop for the manufacture of testing facilities.
Engineering design draws on the Faculty's extensive computer facilities and computational mechanics is being established as an area of study and research with computer science.
Graduate research programs are available in aspects of mechanical, industrial and manufacturing engineering. The Department is highly regarded in fluid mechanics, automotive engineering, solar energy, machine dynamics and mechanics of material removal.
2. Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering: Undergraduate Course Structures
There are three streams to the course: Mechanical, Manufacturing and Environmental Engineering. In addition to meeting the Faculty requirement of 400 points for the BE, students must pass specified 400-level subjects and prescribed numbers of electives. Prerequisites are designed to meet these requirements. The Manufacturing and Mechanical streams are common to the end of semester one, level three. The Environmental stream has subjects in common with the Mechanical stream, except for special design subjects at levels two and three and more electives (focused on environmental topics) at level four. In addition there are mechatronics design subjects taken only by those studying the BE(Mechatronics)/BCS.
2.1. Bachelor of Engineering (BE)
2.2. Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Engineering (BA/BE)
Note: This first year structure represents the course for a language sequence in Arts. For other Arts sequences with the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical and Manufacturing) and Bachelor of Arts, please contact the Director of First Year Studies (Engineering) and the Faculty of Arts.
For Manufacturing and Environmental stream subjects (Refer to BE).
2.3. Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Commerce (BE/BCom)
The structure of the combined course has flexibility in later years in the Economics and Commerce subjects chosen. The Engineering subjects prescribed below amount to 340 points. It is recommended that at least 315 points be completed by the end of third year.
2.4. Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (LLB/BE)
see Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) and Bachelor of Laws (BE/LLB)
2.5. Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Science (BE/BSc)
The Mathematics, Statistics and Physics listed in the following structure will gain credit towards the BSc. Students wanting to pursue engineering mathematics will receive no such credit.
2.6. Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics)/Bachelor of Computer Science
