The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a four-year program that will prepare you for a career as an engineer. Depending on your choice of major, you might work anywhere from infrastructure and hospitals to energy and software. Choose one major, dual major or extended major from 18 different options. UQ is home to the largest number of engineering disciplines in Australia. Undertake a flexible first year, where you can mix and match introductory courses from across the majors to see what you like best. If you prefer, you can also enrol directly in your chosen major from day one. Graduate with a respected honours qualification, with advanced knowledge and skills that will set you apart in a competitive job market, prove your leadership material, and provide a pathway to future research or learning. Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (Dual Major) The Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering major combine’s courses in mechanical engineering with additional specialist study and project work in the aerospace and aviation industry. Aerospace engineering is concerned with the design, manufacture and operation of aircraft, launch vehicles, satellites, spacecraft and ground support facilities. It is a particularly sophisticated and innovative discipline because it involves designing aircraft and spacecraft that are light-weight, but extremely strong. All students study aerospace propulsion, design and manufacturing and then specialise in either the aeronautical or space engineering streams to obtain their dual major. You can study topics including flight mechanics, aerospace composites, space engineering, hypersonic aerodynamics and computational fluid dynamics. Career outcomes As a Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering graduate, you'll have all the employment opportunities of a mechanical engineer, as well as further possibilities as an aerospace engineer. Our graduates work in design and development, testing and manufacturing, consulting firms, government agencies and educational institutions. Employment opportunities in Australia and overseas range from very large aerospace, automotive, building, construction and manufacturing companies to small companies where you might be the only engineer. Some graduates start their own companies soon after they've gained the necessary experience to become a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng).
