program:	BE (Hons) (Mechanical and Material Systems)
description:	The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a suite of technical and professional courses that integrates the broad Systems Engineering foundations and engineering specialisation courses. This program of courses ensures graduates possess sound understanding of theoretical principles and methods from the underpinning physical, mathematical and information sciences that underpin at least one field of engineering specialisation, and build the skills to apply this knowledge, engineering methods and relevant tools to design and implement innovative, optimised and sustainable solutions to complex engineering problems. In addition to building complex problem solving, systems engineering and engineering design skills, these courses are strongly focused on building project management, team work and communication skills, understanding of societal, ethical, and environmental aspects of engineering practice, and other important professional and personal attributes. These courses also expose the students to emerging directions in engineering practice, and build their independent learning skills needed to facilitate professional development throughout their career. The program is designed to ensure graduates attain EA Stage 1 Competency Standard and build their technical and professional skills to conduct analysis and structured solving of complex, multi-disciplinary real-world engineering problems by using existing knowledge and tools, and through the design of novel engineering solutions through research and development individually and as a member of a larger interdisciplinary team. Mechanical and Material systems is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics, mathematics and materials science for the design, research , analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of products and machinery and is one of the broadest of the engineering disciplines. This discipline requires an understanding of concepts that includes mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, manufacturing technologies, structural analysis and tools such as computer-aided design. Engineers with mechanical and materials systems major are employed in a diverse range of industries including mining, defence, manufacturing, Infrastructure development, automotive, aerospace, health, power generation, ship building, food processing, energy and agriculture.
