机械工程专业领域涵盖了机械厂的概念和设计，其建设，运营和维护的监督，大型工程项目的计划和监督以及一般工程管理等领域，具有广泛而全面的覆盖范围。由于范围广泛，在最后一年提供了许多选修课程作为技术选修课。尽管可以根据需要提供一定的灵活性，但最好将它们联系起来，以提供适合澳大利亚工业需求和学生特定兴趣的方向。该计划可能涵盖的典型领域包括建筑服务，计算机辅助设计，发电，能源和环境系统，气体和液体处理，生物力学，材料处理，控制系统和运输。重点放在这些领域中工程科学，开发和管理的应用上。
The Mechanical Engineering stream provides a versatile, comprehensive coverage of areas involving the conception and design of machinery and mechanical plant, the supervision of its construction, operation and maintenance, the planning and supervision of large engineering projects, and general engineering management. Due to its wide range, a number of options are provided as Technical Elective courses in the final year. These are preferentially linked to provide a direction appropriate to the needs of Australian industry and to the specific interests of students, although some flexibility is available if required. Typical fields which may be encompassed by the program include building services, computer-aided design, power generation, energy and environmental systems, gas and liquid handling, bio-mechanics, materials handling, control systems and transport. An emphasis is placed on the application of engineering science, development and management in these fields.
