COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology with a Mechanical Engineering focus at Swinburne University combines foundational engineering knowledge, specialized major units, and elective options to prepare graduates for diverse technical careers. First-year core units build essential skills in programming (COS10009), culturally informed technology projects (COS10025), humanitarian design (ENG10001), materials (ENG10002), mechanics (ENG10003), mathematics (MTH10012, MTH10013), and physics (PHY10001). Major units in Mechanical Engineering develop advanced competencies, including Structural Mechanics (MEE20004), Vibration, Data Analysis and Decomposition (MEE20008), Solid Mechanics (MEE30004), Machine Design Project (MEE30005), Heat Transfer (MEE40001), Integrated Engineering Design Project (MEE40010), Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Technologies (MEE40011), and Statistics and Computation for Engineering (MTH20010). Elective options allow further specialization and practical experience, with units such as Fluid Mechanics 1 and 2 (MEE20003, MEE40004), Materials Processing and Machining (MEE20005), Engineering Dynamics (MEE20006), Design and Product Visualisation Project (MEE20007), Manufacturing Engineering (MEE30001), Machine Dynamics (MEE40003), and Engineering Management Project (MME30002). This structure ensures students gain a strong theoretical foundation, hands-on project experience, and the flexibility to tailor their learning to specific interests within mechanical engineering, equipping them for roles as engineering technologists, technicians, or support engineers across multiple industries.
