Requisite map
Overview
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.

Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points
Studying single degree engineering
36 credit pointsIn single degree engineering, you must complete 36 credit points of elective study after Year 1. In Year 2, the 12 points of electives can be level 1, 2 or 3 units from engineering or other faculties.
In Years 3 and 4, the 24 points of electives must be level 3, 4 or 5 units and from your engineering specialisation technical electives list.
Electives must be completed at the required unit level to satisfy the course requirements. You may also use the elective study to complete an engineering minor that will complement your specialisation (This option is available only in Clayton).

Studying in Malaysia - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
6 credit pointsYou 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.
