Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours
Mechanical Engineering is the discipline that applies engineering, physics, engineering mathematics, and materials science principles to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. Mechanical Engineering program consists of four main areas, i.e., Applied Mechanics, Design, Thermodynamics, and Fluid Mechanics. The learning and research activities in the field of Applied Mechanics and Design are focusing on the structural mechanics of engineering materials (typically, metals composites and biomaterials), computational modeling, systems design, monitoring and control, computer-aided design, virtual reality engineering, reliability, and optimization-based design, and industrial and product design. While for the Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics areas, the activities are focusing on alternative fuel, combustion, renewable and sustainable energy, heat transfer, refrigeration and air-conditioning system, computational fluid dynamics, fluid power, tribology, and turbomachinery. The school is committed to producing human capital with first-class mentality and values that can seek and explore knowledge, possess holistic entrepreneurial thinking and the country’s professional workforce by taking into account the curriculum of the 21st Century and the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (4IR). The process of learning and teaching is also based on the NALI method and technology.

Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest specialist sub-sectors in the world of engineering. The skills of mechanical engineers are needed in a vast range of industries, such as robotics, aerospace, defence, manufacturing, and civil engineering.
Mechanical engineers use their creativity, technical skills, practical abilities, and scientific knowledge to design, manufacture and maintain every kind of automatic device imaginable: from small components, such as precise medical devices (e.g., pacemakers), to large machinery, such as cooling systems in nuclear power plants and jet engines in aeroplanes. Their expertise is essential throughout the research, design, planning, production, testing, installation and maintenance of mechanical devices.
