Siaham Si – Master of Engineering Science (Mechanical Engineering)

I chose to undertake a postgraduate degree at UNSW to be exposed to new technologies, cultures and an entirely different academic system where I could truly test myself. My time as a postgraduate student certainly proved to be a great challenge.

Siaham Si – Graduate, Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering offers the unique opportunity to combine various disciplines together in order to develop and improve products, processes and systems. In short, to change the world for the better. Our programs provide students with the knowledge, tools and strategies to design engineering systems and manage a product’s life-cycle.

 

This degree is for students who want to develop their technical knowledge and skills, and enter the engineering profession with a degree accredited with Engineers Australia.**

 

The Master of Engineering takes two years to complete and industrial training is a component of the program. A typical program structure includes: six Disciplinary Knowledge Courses, five Advanced Disciplinary Knowledge Courses, two Engineering and Technical Knowledge Courses, one Design course and two Research Project Courses.

 

The Master of Engineering is designed for those students who do not have an accredited engineering degree, but do have either a non-accredited engineering degree, or have completed the equivalent of the first three years of an accredited engineering degree.

 

 

Required Background

Students need a four year equivalent Engineering degree with a minimum 75% average† in Mechanical Engineering or similar.
