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 D. Professional practice
The Engineering Accreditation Council Malaysia have similar industrial training requirements. You must enrol in ENG0002 in the second semester of your third year and complete the industrial training required if you are studying at the Malaysia campus.
Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points
Students enrolled in the single degree Engineering
36 credit pointsIn Year 2, you must complete 12 credit points of electives which can be Level 1, 2 or 3 units from Engineering or other faculties, subject to meeting the unit enrolment rules. Please ensure that you adhere to the course rules regarding Level 1 units and do not exceed the maximum 60 credit points allowed.
In Years 3 and 4, you must complete 24 credit points of electives which must be Level 3 or 4 units and from your engineering specialisation technical electives list. You may also enrol in up to two Level 5 units in your final year. If you intend to enrol in the Faculty's Master of Engineering post-graduate, completing Level 5 units that are core in the Master's course will reduce the total duration of your Master's study.
Mechanical engineering technical electives
36 credit pointsOption 1: You may use your electives to complete a complementary engineering minor that is available with your specialisation. This allows you to further enhance your knowledge and skills in a specific area of engineering that complements your main field of study.
Option 2: You may consider engineering technical units listed across the engineering minors, subject to meeting the unit prerequisite or co-requisite rules. This will allow you to tailor your studies and broaden your knowledge within the field of engineering while still aligning with your chosen specialisation.
Level 5 units: To enrol in a Level 5 unit listed below, you must be in your final year and have a weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 or above at the conclusion of 3rd Year.

Notes
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours): Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
CPD is a compulsory requirement for all Engineering students. You must complete 420 hours of continuous professional development in order to graduate with the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) qualification. It is a collection of all work including volunteer, personal and professional practice experiences outside the classroom which may be in the form of 12 weeks of relevant vacation employment or an equivalent combination of approved professional development and/or engineering employment taken throughout the duration of the course. You must submit a series of reflections on your experience with particular reference to the development of each of the key Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies. Visit the Student Experience website for more information about professional development.
The Engineering Accreditation Council Malaysia has similar professional experience requirements. Further information is available on the Industrial training website.
