About
Mechanical engineers are central to the production of almost every item we use. They analyse, conceptualise, design and manufacture items from the very small, such as micro machines, to the very large, such as aircraft.
The Mechanical Engineering specialisation will equip you with the skills you’ll require to design mechanical systems by providing you with a strong foundation in basic sciences; statics; dynamics; and the mechanics of solids, thermofluids and materials; as well as advanced knowledge in manufacturing, novel materials and microscale devices. You’ll learn to proficiently identify, select and apply mechanical engineering theory and analysis, modelling and simulation, and measurement knowledge to address complex problems with interdisciplinary components. And you’ll learn to apply fundamental concepts and theory to the design, operation and maintenance of mechanical components.
Areas of study
Applied numerical engineering, electrical and mechanical principles, energy and sustainability, engineering dynamics, engineering materials, engineering mathematics, engineering physics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, manufacturing engineering, mechanical design, mechanics of solids, product design engineering, production processes, thermodynamics.
Career opportunities
Aerospace engineer, automotive engineer, CAD technician, consultant, control and instrumentation engineer, designer and manufacturer, mechanical engineer, nuclear engineer, project manager, research and design manager.
Practical experience
You’ll undertake a work-integrated learning activity with a partner organisation.

ATAR profile
ATAR-based offers only (semester 1, 2024)
Use all ATAR profile data as a guide only; it provides a broad overview of the ATARs and selection ranks of previous Year 12 students admitted into that course. ATARs and selection ranks required for entry in 2025 may be different. If you are unsure about including a course among your preferences, contact the relevant institution.
- This ATAR profile table is in line with Commonwealth Government transparency requirements. It is based on offers to recent school leavers (ie completed Year 12 in the last 2 years) who were selected solely or partly on their ATAR. Note that some institutions further differentiate this information on their websites.
- The ATAR values exclude any adjustment factors.
- The selection ranks include the ATAR and any adjustment factors.
