Mechanical engineers need to respond to a changing world dominated by advances in technology. Their combination of broad engineering knowledge and detailed expertise in specialist fields enables them to harness these changes.
The following seven objectives are the typical skills and abilities that Swinburne graduates will have a few years after graduation, as they develop their professional engineer careers.
Manage complex mechanical engineering projects that are motivational, entrepreneurial, research and/or industry linked.
Take leadership and mentoring roles during the design and implementation phases of mechanical engineering projects.
Work in local and/or international organisations demonstrating an understanding of global engineering issues.
Apply mechanical engineering technical expertise to industry-related fields.
Work autonomously and in teams within organisations or as a consultant.
Apply ethical standards, principles of design for sustainable development, and environmental consideration to conceptualising and implementing industry-related projects.
Capable of undertaking entry-level activities in general management and business and enterprise.
Program Outcomes:
At completion of their engineering program at Swinburne, graduates should be able to:
apply fundamental knowledge of engineering, mathematics and science;
use the techniques, skills and modern tools in mechanical engineering to practice as a mechanical engineer;
identify, formulate, solve and evaluate engineering problems;
design and conduct experiments as well as to analyse and interpret data;
identify and practice professional and ethical responsibility;
design and develop engineering solutions to meet desired needs within realistic economic, environmental, social, ethical, health and safety, manufacturing, and sustainability constraints;
apply knowledge and skills that are demonstrably in demand by the industry;
recognise the need for and to engage in lifelong learning;
function and communicate effectively in multi-disciplinary teams;
explain basic principles of market-focused business;
communicate with a variety of organisational stakeholders;
identify and evaluate business problems and present innovative solutions;
apply knowledge and practical skills of either finance or management in the field of business.
# Industry Experience
Students studying on an international student visa must complete Professional Experience in Engineering (HED400). All other students may complete an Industry-Based Learning placement instead (exemption will be granted for HED400 on completion of IBL).
Professional Experience in Engineering (HED400): Equivalent of 12 full time weeks of approved relevant engineering practical experience (0 credit points, 0 fees). To be taken at any stage during the degree.
Industry-Based Learning (Placement 1) (HEW050), Industry-Based Learning (Placement 2) (HEW055): Full-time paid placement in industry for 6 (HEW050) or 12 months (HEW050 & HEW055) in an area relevant to your studies (0 academic credit points, unit fees apply). Students should attend an information session one semester prior to the scheduled IBL entry point.
Swinburne offers International Exchange Programs as well as other Education Abroad Programs to help internationalise your degree. International Exchange is an academic program allowing you to study at a Swinburne Partner Institution for one or two semesters during your degree. Swinburne's Partner Institutions offer many relevant subjects as well as a secure base to explore a different culture. Your studies whilst on exchange can be credited towards your Swinburne degree, provided they are relevant and approved by Swinburne. For further information visit the Swinburne Abroad website.
Graduates of this double degree program may select paths from either Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) or Bachelor of Commerce, or from both discipline areas. Graduates will have an advantage in the marketplace compared to those with single-discipline degrees.
This program has also been professionally accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) Malaysia and Engineers Australia.
Graduates are eligible to apply for membership of Engineers Australia as well as Graduate Membership of Board of Engineers Malaysia.
A range of scholarships are available to local (Sarawakian, Sabahan
& West Malaysian) and International students either at commencement
or on the continuation of a program.
