Leading to: Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering
Where do mechanical engineers find jobs? Everywhere.
At the University of Newcastle we train engineers capable of solving the world’s greatest challenges. As a mechanical engineering student, your degree will prepare you to help address the world’s future energy needs by taking biomass, wind and tidal power solutions to the next level. You could learn to design self-driving farm machinery for ultra efficient food production, or develop the skills to tackle health issues by building revolutionary biomechanical solutions for people with disabilities.

What is mechanical engineering? Mechanical engineers design, manufacture and optimise specialist machines and processes. As part of your Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) you will study how to solve important problems. Your core courses in mechanical engineering will teach you to develop solutions using robotics, new advanced materials, the fundamental laws of energy generation and transmission, and the computer control of physical systems - from nano to mega-tonne scale. Mechanical Engineering is at the heart of many aeronautical, motorsport & manufacturing teams, with mechanical engineers involved in everything from wind turbines to air conditioners, aircraft and racecars.

Mechanical engineers are valued for their problem-solving ability and generalist knowledge across the different engineering disciplines and are often employed in  discipline-agnostic roles as project managers, designers or advisors. A mechanical engineering degree establishes you for a lifelong career in the direction you wish to take it.
