Monash University

Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) - Malaysia

Mechanical engineering is about the efficient use of energy in the design and function of all types of mechanisms, from the simplest to the most complex. It builds on engineering principles of physics, chemistry, materials, mathematics and biology to achieve engineering goals. As a mechanical engineer, you might design automatic control systems or take charge of the operation of a smart building. You could manage the water supply for a whole state and design wind turbines or highly efficient, low-cost products for the developing world. In the diverse and challenging field of mechanical engineering, your role as a mechanical engineer could take you into various industries. You might be called on to work with the medical profession to create robots that can operate with greater precision than a human, or be at the cutting edge of advanced manufacturing using 3D printers to create aircraft parts with elegance and function.
