TA 222 Honours Bachelor Degree in Engineering - Mechanical Engineering
About the Course
The Honours Degree allows students to develop a deeper understanding of engineering principles and acquire the ability to quickly grasp engineering issues across a range of different fields. The graduate engineer will be able to offer solutions to problems that are driven by well developed analytical and practical skills.
Once again the BEng (Hons) Degree in Mechanical Engineering is a strong technically focused programme and is targeted at producing graduate design engineers. Mechanical Engineers are trained, during their careers, to be creative and inventive and society calls upon them to solve many difficult problems as well creating new devices such as medical instruments, high tech computer networks, advanced mobile phones and software systems. Many opportunities are available to the experienced professional engineer in terms of continuing to lead engineering design projects or alternatively to enter the world of management.
In the final year of the programme students are provided with a major design project based on a hardware or software topic and this important element of the programme and is designed to develop problem solving, design, project management and communications skills. A student may exit to take employment in industry upon completion of the BEng Honours programme or progress to a postgraduate degree programme. The opportunities are plentiful.

Career Opportunities
An Honours Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering will broaden your career opportunities as these
skills are sought by a broad range of industries and recognised around the world. Whether a company is
developing bio-engineered products, involved in high yield production such as pharmaceuticals (Wyeth,
Pfizer) or integrated computer chips (Intel) mechanical engineers are critical to the process.
As a graduate from the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Degree programme you could end up;
• Designing bio-mechanical products, medical devices or sub-assemblies of a machine
• Working in the quality department of a factory
• Developing and optimising production line assemblies
• Improving existing designs or upgrading machine designs
• Dealing with supply chain management integrating customers or suppliers
• Selling engineering products or services
• Researching and analysing future engineering technologies
A Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Degree also enables you to continue to advance engineering research
by studying to the level of Masters of Engineering or PhD.
