Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours

Overview

Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours aims for graduates to become full fledge Mechanical Engineers with the required knowledge and technical skills to serve the industry upon graduating. Emphasis will be given on components and systems to serve the mechanical, manufacturing, semiconductor, electronics, solar and also oil and gas industry. The graduates are expected to possess the necessary technical competencies in Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing fields, as well as generic professional skills such as leadership, team work, communication, ethical, continuous improvement, lifelong learning, business and technopreneurship in order to be knowledgeable, competent and innovative Mechanical engineers.

Graduates will be able to work in vast engineering and mechanical sector such as in design, development, manufacturing and testing for tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical and electrical system devices. Engineers in this discipline work on power-producing machines such as electric generators, internal combustion engines and steam and gas turbines. They also work on power-using machines. Some mechanical engineers design tools that other engineers need for their work. In addition, mechanical engineers work in manufacturing or agriculture production, maintenance, or technical sales.
