Curtin’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) offers you an industry-connected education experience in which you will learn how to devise engineering solutions for complex societal and industry challenges.

Your study will begin with the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY). You'll learn the fundamental concepts and develop the required skills common to all areas of engineering – giving you the opportunity to explore our range of engineering disciplines before choosing the major that you'll focus on from your second year.

What you'll learn

Demonstrate a conceptual understanding of applied science, computing, and engineering.

Use underpinning science, engineering, and sustainability principles to solve complex social and industrial challenges.

Design and implement engineering solutions in a safe, ethical, legal, professional, and through respectful partnerships with local First Peoples and other diverse cultures as globally responsible citizens.

Assess the available scientific and engineering knowledge and undertake applied research in the broad engineering field.

Employ the technologies and knowledge to develop and communicate effective and innovative engineering solutions to complex problems.

Develop lifelong learning habits, teamwork and leadership abilities, and project management skills.

Learn how to analyse and develop machines and moving systems.

Mechanical engineers analyse and develop technological systems that involve motion. They help society harness the energy and forces that exist in nature.

Mechanical engineering is a discipline that is recognised worldwide. As one of the broadest engineering disciplines, it will provide you with versatile skills for numerous career options.

System conception, design, manufacturing, maintenance and management are all within the scope of mechanical engineering. These systems include micromechanical devices, power-generating turbines, thermal power generation, and air and transport systems.

This course is oriented to provide skill development opportunities with hands-on experience. You’ll learn how to apply your knowledge and skills to devise and/or develop solutions for a range of engaging and challenging industry problems.

In particular, you’ll appreciate applying your multidisciplinary problem-solving skills across a spectrum of science and engineering endeavours that extend through to biomedical engineering.

In your final year you’ll undertake an individual research project.
