If you do a CEED project, you will also commence your major project, completing it as your fourth year project. In your final year, you will do a general unit common to all engineering streams, a substantial engineering project, and select from a variety of more specialised mechanical engineering topics. As in third year, you will be improving your communication skills in class seminars. At UWA, we have an exciting environment for students to develop the skills necessary to be in the forefront of engineering anywhere in the world. Over the years, our mechanical engineering graduates have developed an excellent reputation, and are in great demand in industry.
Many companies interview mechanical engineering students on campus before graduation.
While studying mechanical engineering at UWA, you will be in contact with research teams which are recognised internationally as being at the forefront of technology. You will have access to well equipped computer laboratories for general computing and specialised computer-aided engineering. The Department has excellent contact with industry, and external lecturers add variety to a number of courses. You will have opportunities to visit industrial sites of particular interest to enable you to see mechanical engineering in action. An engineering degree is harder than most when studying, but the rewards are great.
