Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) (Part-Time)

Provided by University of Newcastle, Australia/ UON Singapore


Course introduction

Introduction


Mechanical Engineers concern themselves with the design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of mechanical devices, equipment and systems. Examples include power generation, mining, mineral processing, metal and materials production, transport, air conditioning and refrigeration, materials handling and manufacturing – the list is a long one. Wherever there is mechanical equipment and systems, a mechanical engineer is needed to design, manufacture, operate and maintain them.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering is designed to provide you with theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, well-equipping you for the challenges of a new economy, at the same time fulfilling requirements as a widely accepted mechanical engineering qualification. The award may be conferred with Honours to high-performing students.
