| Course Overview: |
The department was first established after the Second World War, although the course in mechanical engineering began in 1907 as a Faculty stream. An industrial engineering degree was added in the late 1950s. In 1988 an extensive review of the curriculum led to the undergraduate courses being restructured into a new, single degree course in mechanical and manufacturing engineering with students having the option to choose specialisations in their last year. A 1995 review of the department by a team from the US and UK ranked its research and teaching at the highest international standards. In 1996, the five-year combined degree in mechatronics commenced. Mechanical and manufacturing engineering applies human and material resources to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of machines (supported increasingly by sophisticated computer technology) to move people, goods and materials; generate energy; produce goods and services; and control pollution and dispose of wastes. It interacts with all other branches of engineering including the medical sciences.
The single degree, Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical), requires the completion of 400 points usually over four years.

| Course Structure & Available Subjects: | The recommended or standard course structures for students who commenced the course prior to 2008 are listed below. When setting the timetable every effort will be made to avoid clashes between the times of classes associated with these sets of subjects. Students should be aware however, that if it proves to be impossible to achieve a timetable without clashes in these sets of subjects, the Faculty reserves the right to modify course structures in order to eliminate the conflicts. Students will be advised during the enrolment period of the semester if the recommended courses need to be varied. Where the courses include elective subjects these should be chosen so that timetable clashes are avoided. |
