Associate Degree of Engineering Major Mechanical Engineering at University of Southern Queensland

If you want to become a Professional Mechanical Engineer, and have a 3 year engineering degree but no work experience, the Master of Engineering Science (Mechanical Engineering) will get you there. Throughout the degree there is an emphasis on practical experience with hands-on laboratory sessions and 60 days industry experience, preparing you thoroughly for the engineering profession. You will complete a research project and dissertation applying all your formal knowledge to a real world problem. Whether this is the efficiency of different bio-fuels, obstacle detecting robotics or the design of FSAE race cars, your project will provide insight to the profession of a Mechanical Engineer. If you don't meet the entry requirements, we have pathway options available to you. Graduate Certificate of Engineering Science (Mechanical Engineering) Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science (Mechanical Engineering).

Mechanical engineers apply the principles of physics and mechanical science to the design and construction of all forms of mechanical systems. This program covers all aspects of design specification, development, research, evaluation, manufacture, installation, testing, operation, maintenance and management of machines and systems. This will include, but is not limited to, mechanical and mechatronic systems, automated systems and robotic devices, heat transfer processes, thermodynamic and combustion systems; and fluid and thermal energy systems. As a graduate, you are eligible to become a member of Engineers Australia and seek managerial roles with private consultants, contracting companies, or federal, state and local government organisations. Significant opportunities for employment exist in Australia, as well as in South-East Asia and throughout the rest of the world.
