Course Summary

This is a final year course in the mechanical engineering specialist design stream involving advanced design concepts and techniques. It aims to engage you in systems design and robust design problems through experiential problem-based learning and project-based learning. You will work on real-world industry relevant design projects from the stage of identifying the design requirements, through detailed design to the final stage of virtual prototyping, validating and developing technical documentation using contemporary computational and experimental techniques. This involves team-based discussions, workshops and consultations emulating professional engineering design practice. All projects involve students undergoing a complete systems design process involving complex mechanical systems and including a significant level of advanced engineering analysis and design optimisation.
If you are enrolled in this course as a component of your Bachelor Honours Program, your overall mark will contribute to the calculation of the Weighted Average Mark (WAM).
