Subject descriptions
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 specialisations in their last year. A 1995 review of the department by a team from the US and UK ranked its research and teaching at the highest international standards. In 1996, the five-year combined degree in mechatronics commenced. 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 including the medical sciences.
First-year students acquire a flexible, broad scientific training in mathematics, computing and physics and an introduction to engineering.
Second-year students continue with mathematics and are introduced to engineering design plus basic mechanical engineering sciences (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mechanics and machine dynamics), materials and electro-mechanical system modelling.
Third year students continue engineering science, engineering design, manufacturing studies and control systems.
Fourth year includes a major project and electives in advanced engineering; in manufacturing, bioengineering, applied mechanics, fluids, energy, mechatronics 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. Many students participate in industry challenges such as the Formula SAE-A competition, or other build and demonstrate projects that are world competitive.
In laboratory, research and design work students have access to specialised facilities for materials testing, wind tunnels, engine test cells and a heavy engineering workshop for the manufacture of testing facilities and experimental equipment.
Engineering design, which draws on the Faculty's extensive computer facilities and computational mechanics, is now established as an area of study and research in conjunction with computer science.
Graduate research programs are available in aspects of mechanical, mechatronics, manufacturing and bioengineering. The department is internationally regarded in fluid mechanics, advanced automotive engineering technology, machine dynamics, mechatronics and biomedical engineering.
To meet the Faculty requirement of 400 points for the BE, students must pass specified core subjects and a prescribed number of electives. Prerequisites are designed to meet these requirements.
Study abroad students may take units of most 12.5 point subjects as 6.25 point subjects.
The recommended or standard course structures are listed below. When setting the timetable every effort will be made to avoid clashes between the times of classes associated with these sets of subjects. Students should be aware however, that if it proves to be impossible to achieve a timetable without clashes in these sets of subjects, the Faculty reserves the right to modify course structures in order to eliminate the conflicts. Students will be advised during the enrolment period of the semester if the recommended courses need to be varied. Where the courses include elective subjects these should be chosen so that timetable clashes are avoided. In particular, students in combined degrees should plan their courses so that the subjects chosen in the other faculty do not clash with those recommended for the engineering component.

The courses shown below 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).
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.
The recommended or standard course structures are listed below. When setting the timetable every effort will be made to avoid clashes between the times of classes associated with these sets of subjects. Students should be aware however, that if it proves to be impossible to achieve a timetable without clashes in these sets of subjects, the Faculty reserves the right to modify course structures in order to eliminate the conflicts. Students will be advised during the enrolment period of the semester if the recommended courses need to be varied. Where the courses include elective subjects these should be chosen so that timetable clashes are avoided. In particular, students in combined degrees should plan their courses so that the subjects chosen in the other faculty do not clash with those recommended for the engineering component.

| 1. | Students planning to undertake computer science as the science major in the combined degree will be required to complete 433-172 Algorithmic Problem Solving or 433-152 Algorithmic Problem Solving (Advanced) for science points prior to commencing second-year computer science subjects. |
| 2. | 640-141 Physics A, 640-142 Physics B and 640-251 Instrumentation for Scientists may be substituted by 431-101 Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering and 3 other Science subjects. Students choosing this alternative will need to complete an extra Science subject as an overload, a summer subject or by extending their course. These students must seek course advice from a Science adviser. |
