Master of Mechanical Engineering (Professional)

Develop your specialist knowledge and skills in the field of mechanical engineering to prepare for future demand.

The Master of Mechanical Engineering (Professional) delves further into one of the broadest areas of engineering. It covers:

dynamics and control
thermodynamics and fluid mechanics
solid mechanics and design
manufacture and materials science.

Core to mechanical engineering is the ability to formulate a problem, identify potential solutions, analyse and model solutions and select the most appropriate solution within constraints. This approach is integrated into the program and is applicable across a range of professions, making you well prepared for a changing world.

Mechanical engineers are employed in diverse industries, including:

road and rail transport
aerospace
environmental
medical
power generation
building industries.

Your employment opportunities in Australia and overseas range from very large mining, refining, construction, manufacturing and consulting companies to small companies in which you might be the only engineer.
