Overview

This specialisation has had one or more changes made to it since publication on 1 October 2021. For details of changes, please consult the 2022 Change register.

Mechanical engineering focuses on turning energy into motion and power - any practical device that moves has required a mechanical engineer to design it. The discipline covers the generation, conversion, transmission and use of mechanical and thermal energy, and includes the design, construction and operation of devices and systems. You will acquire skills, knowledge and experience in structural mechanics, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics while developing novel solutions through engineering design and systems and control.

In this specialisation, you will have the opportunity to also pursue a minor in an engineering discipline that complements mechanical engineering.

Availability
Mechanical engineering is listed in E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Clayton and Malaysia as an undergraduate specialisation. 

Structure

Parts C. and D. Mechanical engineering knowledge, application and professional practice108 credit points
Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points

Studying single degree engineering

36 credit points
In single-degree engineering, you must complete 36 credit points of elective study after Year 1. In Year 2, the 12 credit points of electives can be level 1, 2 or 3 units from engineering or other faculties. In Years 3 and 4, the 24 credit points of electives must be level 3, 4 or 5 engineering units. You may use your elective study to complete an engineering minor that will complement your engineering specialisation or choose from your specialisation technical electives list.

Mechanical engineering technical electives

36 credit points
You may consider other engineering technical units chosen from the engineering minors, subject to meeting the unit prerequisite and/or co-requisite rules.NOTE: Please refer to the information below for the specific unit required for the local professional accreditation in Malaysia. NOTE: To enrol in a level 5 unit listed below, you must obtain a weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 or above at the conclusion of level 3 and be in your final year.

Studying in Malaysia - IMPORTANT INFORMATION

6 credit points
You must complete MEC3459 to satisfy the accreditation requirement to register as a Mechanical Engineer with the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).

Studying a double degree with engineering

The 36 credit points of specialisation engineering technical electives normally required in the single degree have been credited towards the double degree structure and therefore not a requirement in the double degree courses.
