The Master of Engineering (Mechanical) is designed to strengthen and extend your understanding of specific knowledge and technical skills in advanced mechanical engineering. With a focus on design, you will have access to knowledge of design and engineering sciences through courses such as heat transfer and thermodynamics, dynamics and control, aerodynamics, structural design and solid mechanics as well as a range of advanced technical coursework. This degree The Master of Engineering delivers expert skills and applied competencies required for the professional engineer. It is designed to train and enhance professional practice, advance technical and specialist skills, and provide an opportunity to put theory into practice with applied projects and research. The degree also delivers communication, strategic and project management skills essential to the practising engineer. What you will study You will complete the core subjects in Professional Communications and Engineering Workplace Practice, Advanced Manufacturing Processes, Innovation and Design, Research Methods, Project Management, and Engineering Computing. For the Mechanical major you will study subjects in Finite Element Techniques in Mechanical Engineering, Strategic Management for Engineers and Technologists, Integrated Manufacturing Systems, plus electives selected from Mechanical or Engineering subjects. You will also complete an advanced project.

Develop advanced research skills and further the growth of mechanical and manufacturing engineering. RMIT's experienced engineering researchers have achieved significant successes across application areas and industry sectors. Through collaboration with our own institutes and centres we produce creative solutions to existing and emerging industry-applicable engineering problems. Research is supported by state of the art facilities, including the Advanced Manufacturing Precinct. RMIT researchers deliver high-impact and influential outcomes. RMIT is also ranked in the top 150 universities in the world for the fields of aerospace and mechanical engineering (2019 QS World University rankings).

The Master of Philosophy aims to expand knowledge beyond the undergraduate honours or postgraduate diploma level, culminating in a research thesis. Upon completion of a master by research degree, you may apply to be considered for entry into a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program.
