Mechanical Engineering, Testamur Major (T103)

  • Western Sydney University Major Code: T103

Previous Code: KT3173.1, MT3054

Available to students in other Western Sydney University programs?  No

Mechanical engineering is a dynamic area involving the design and build of moving machines including engines that power transportation, industrial machinery, and a range of tools. Students put the core concepts of mechanical engineering, energy, thermodynamics, mechanics, kinematics, and fluid mechanics, into practical application in workshops, industry projects, and work integrated learning. Students design and construct machines and tools, monitor and evaluate their performance. Employment opportunities include automotive or mechanical engineer, control and instrumentation engineer. This major includes a mandatory 12 weeks of industrial placement as a completion requirement.
