The Engineering Institute of Technology is pleased to bring you the Bachelor of Science (Mechanical Engineering) program.
In this accredited and prestigious program you will gain:
- Skills and know-how in the latest and developing technologies in mechanical engineering
- Practical guidance and feedback from mechanical experts from around the world
- Knowledge from the extensive experience of expert lecturers, rather than from just theoretical information
- Global networking contacts in the industry
- A valuable and accredited Bachelor of Science (Mechanical Engineering)** qualification
The field of engineering that applies physics and the material sciences to develop machinery, is mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineers use the principles of force, energy and motion to improve the safety, efficiency and technological advancement of the world around us. They are involved in design manufacture and operational processes of anything that moves, from the tiniest, simplest micro-particles to the largest, most complex spacecraft and everything in between. As a mechanical engineer you have a skill set that is applicable to many industries in the world, including automotive, transport, manufacturing, power generation, medical. Consumer goods and more!
With this qualification you will have acquired the essential knowledge which underpins both this and other fields of engineering. More importantly, you will have become a mechanical engineering technologist.
The next on-campus intake will start in February 2018.
Contact us for more information and to apply.
** A note regarding recognition of this program in the Australian education system: EIT is the owner of this program. The qualification is officially accredited by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). EIT delivers this program to students worldwide.

Introduction
Engineering cannot be underestimated: the wellbeing of the world is largely dependent on the work of engineers.
Isaac Asimov, a famous science fiction author, professor of biochemistry and robotics devotee said: “Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world.”
Engineering touches everything and is responsible for our progress through the ages; it is, for example, fundamental to all forms of transportation, to power generation, communication technologies and biomedicine. Engineers also contribute to solving the complex challenges in the world today, including pollution, hunger and disease.
It is a prestigious career to pursue, with the highest average starting salary of any undergraduate major. Because it is a respected profession the world over engineers can also consider working abroad.
There is more choice for engineers now than ever before; it is a discipline which is developing and broadening with the evolution of technology. Mechanical engineering is one of those expanding streams of engineering, with an increasingly profound influence on most industries and enterprises.

Industrial Experience
This program requires the completion of 240 hours of relevant industrial experience in an engineering environment under professional supervision. Two periods/units are allocated as time in which to achieve this. An industrial experience research project unit will provide you with the tools needed to meet your professional technologist and engineering outcomes. In addition, the program will also entail a hands-on workshop, which will be used to verify your hands-on work skills. If you already have experience relevant to any of the above, you may apply to have credit granted by completing the associated recognition of prior learning form to demonstrate that your experience is of a sufficient nature and standard
Prior Learning Recognition and Exemptions
EIT can give you credit for units where you can demonstrate substantial prior experience or educational background. An assessment fee may apply. If you wish to find out more please ask us for your copy of the policy for recognition of prior learning.
Presentation Format
The program is delivered on-campus, facilitated by an on-campus lecturer. You will be required to attend one of two daily classroom sessions (Monday – Friday). The available session times will be 8.00am – midday, and 1pm to 5pm. Please note we cannot guarantee that you will be placed in your preferred session, and on-campus attendance is compulsory.
The classroom sessions will be conducted by a dedicated on-campus lecturer, and will include video presentations, live stream tutorials with supplementary expert lecturers based around the world, practical exercises, assessments, class discussions and personal study.
Time Commitment
Each unit is composed of 10 hours of study per week (40 hours total) as follows:
- 1 hour pre-recorded lecture facilitated by the on-campus lecturer
- 1 hour tutorial lecture (live stream)
- 1 hour remote/virtual and local lab/assignment work
- 7 hours of personal study (guided and unguided)
Hardware and Software Requirements
Students are required to have a laptop computer for the duration of the program. Internet access will be provided in your classroom sessions however we strongly recommend that students arrange access to a computer and Internet connection outside classroom session hours, either through purchase, public library access or other arrangements, in order to continue with self study, assessment work etc.
Software for live stream sessions, simulations, remote and virtual laboratories will be provided.
