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.
Study Abroad students may take units of most 12.5 point subjects as 6.25 points.
2.1. Bachelor of Engineering (BE)
The courses shown below for levels one and two are based on a structure being adopted by all Faculties, in which most subjects carry 12.5 points. (A small number of subjects carry 6.25 or 25 points).
This structure is new for the Faculty of Engineering and is being introduced in 1999 for levels one and two. Students taking combined degree courses and who intend to overlap 2nd and later year subjects, should consult with course advisers to ensure all core engineering requirements are met.
The Engineering subjects shown below for levels three and four are based on the old course structures in which engineering subjects generally carry 7.14 points. This structure is being phased out in 2000 and 2001 in favour of the 12.5 point structure.
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.
The Engineering subjects shown below for levels three and four are based on the old course structures in which engineering subjects generally carry 7.14 points. This structure is being phased out in 2000 and 2001 in favour of the 12.5 point structure.
