Mechanical engineers analyse, conceptualise, design and manufacture items from the very small (such as micro machines) to the very large (such as aircraft). Mechanical engineers are central to the production of almost every item that we use. This major focuses on micro-mechanical devices. The course provides opportunity to interact with academics in a variety of ground-breaking areas from life sciences to nanofabrication and it has a focus on industry experience. Students will have opportunities to take advantage of Macquarie's strong industry partnerships with major companies such as BAE Systems, Cochlear, Optus and Honeywell.
The degree will equip you for a career in mechanical engineering and manufacturing or industrial design. The degree can be combined with others such as the Bachelors of Science, Arts or Commerce by adding just one more year of study.
