What you will study

Learn through block delivery. This means you will study one module at a time across a 6-week period, allowing you to fully immerse yourself and get a deeper understanding of each subject. This style reflects how engineers work and shifts away from traditional models of teaching where students are expected to study multiple modules at one time. Modules include Mechatronic Systems Engineering, Computed Aided Design, Ethical Design and Manufacturing, Applied Mechanics and Structural Analysis, Leadership for Engineering Excellence, Sustainable Machine Elements Design, AI and Data-Driven Solutions for Engineering, Applied Thermal and Fluid Engineering.

Career pathways

This course has been designed to provide you with the competency skills, industry knowledge and problem-solving skills to have a successful career in Mechanical, Automotive or Manufacturing Engineering. As the engineering workforce ages, the demand for industry-ready graduates is greater than ever.
