Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Mechanical)
Make things happen. Mechanical Engineering Technologists assist in the design, manufacture and maintenance of complex machines and mechanical systems from the very small to the very large scale. Learn the finer points of engineering and machine design, fluid mechanics, and production engineering which will enable you to make systems and machinery for diverse industries from transport to medical devices.
As an Engineering Technologist, you will attain the skills to: focus on interactions with the system, modify and adapt established engineering practices and advance engineering technology.
In this program you will:
- Learn to use mathematical and scientific principles to solve a range of technical problems
- Get hands-on experience through 40 days of work experience
- Experience a broad array of courses covering areas like design, sustainability, modelling and management and leadership
- Learn from industry professional through guest lectures and site visits that expose you to current engineering professional practice
- Recreate interactive real-life scenarios in UniSC's state-of-the-art visualisation studio and dedicated engineering laboratories
