This is a pathway program jointly developed by Republic Polytechnic and Deakin University (Deakin) to transfer their credits studied from local partner institution directly into Deakin's Bachelor degree. Students will be eligible to complete this Bachelor degree through Deakin online or on-campus once the border re-open.
Deakin’s Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) allows you to turn your passion into a rewarding career. Today, mechanical engineers lend their expertise to the development of almost every design imaginable. Not only will this internationally recognised program prepare you to be an industry-ready professional engineer, it’ll give you the chance to get hands-on with advanced technologies in our multi-million dollar engineering precinct.
No matter what types of technology spark your interest, Deakin provides the ultimate training ground to design, construct and test your ideas. You’ll have access to the same tools as industry professionals and, through 60 days of work experience, you’ll work alongside professional engineers on projects that inspire your creativity. On top of that, the course’s project-oriented design-based learning activities develop your ability to work in teams, communicate and lead.
Ready to be the brains behind machines big and small?
Mechanical engineers are crucial to the design and development of the systems, devices and machinery that power our lives, including complex products like cars, aeroplanes, biomedical devices and renewable energy systems.
By studying Deakin’s Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours), you’ll be able to confidently utilise principles of technology and science to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems. You’ll get the design, engineering and entrepreneurial skills required to develop and run the complex mechanical systems, devices and machines of the future.
This highly sought-after skill set allows you to transition into a variety of engineering roles, from automotive manufacturing and robotics design, to engineering spacecrafts fit for deep space. Graduates can expect to gain employment in supplier companies, leading manufacturing and design companies, aircraft, ship building, automotive, aerospace and biomedical areas.
During the course you’ll cover core mechanical disciplines including machine, structural and thermos-fluids design and industrial control, all while developing professional skills that make you more employable, like project management, communication and teamwork. Importantly, throughout your degree you’ll put these skills into practice with frequent industry-linked experiences including:
project-oriented design-based learning (PODBL)
access to Deakin’s state-of-the-art Centre for Advanced Design in Engineering Training
international and national competition challenges such as the World Solar Car Challenge and Warman Design and Build Competition.
Project-oriented design-based learning (PODBL) in collaboration with industry, means that practical learning experiences are woven throughout the duration of our engineering courses. And with a minimum of 60 days’ work experience in one or more organisations, you’ll gain insight into your future career options.
With an international skills shortage in the engineering industry, Deakin graduates are in demand both in Australia and further abroad. . Mix electrical, mechanical and robotics engineering into a single degree and secure your future career in a diverse range of industries developing the systems of the future.
