*The indicative program fees shown here applies to students studying on-campus in Malaysia for the relevant year only. They are based on a standard study load per year. However, please note that fees are assessed according to a student's study load in each term, and variation to study load will result in an adjustment to tuition fees. All fees are subject to annual review and may be adjusted.
Mechanical engineering involves the design, manufacture and maintenance of machine components and systems from small domestic products to highly complex vehicle and aerospace systems. 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.
Swinburne also offers a double degree in Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering)/Bachelor of Commerce.
The following six 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
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
# 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
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.
Employment may be found in many areas of industry and commerce including automotive, vehicle, transport, power, manufacturing, materials processing, appliance production, mechanical building services, mining and raw material conversion.
The mechanical engineer's contributions can include design, development, testing, innovation, project management, planning, research, quality control, and engineering management.
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.
