Introduction
Mechanical Engineering is considered the broadest of all engineering disciplines. It is concerned with the design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of mechanical devices, equipment and systems. Develop a sound understanding of the design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of mechanical devices, equipment and systems.
The Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree awarded by The University of Newcastle, Australia delivers an introduction to the fundamental principles of engineering science and practice. Concentration on underlying principles and development of learning ability prepare graduates for a wide range of career options where they can continue to expand their skills.
