Course description
UCME Undergraduate Certificate in Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is the field of engineering that applies physics and the material sciences to develop machinery. Mechanical engineers use the principles of force, energy and motion to improve the safety, efficiency and technological advancement of the world around us. Upon completion of this undergraduate certificate, you will acquire fundamental knowledge, skills and understanding in the key core units of the mechanical engineering discipline.You will also demonstrate scientific, mathematical, contextual factors and design practice knowledge - contextualised to engineering applications.

Course Learning Outcomes
- Upon completion of this undergraduate certificate, graduates will acquire fundamental knowledge, skills and understanding in the key core units of the Mechanical engineering discipline. Graduates will also demonstrate scientific, mathematical, contextual factors and design practice knowledge - contextualised to engineering applications.
- Graduates of this course will be able to identify and solve intellectually complex, specialised engineering problems, individually or in groups, underpinned by critical analysis, self-reflection, research and synthesis of the engineering systems and solutions relevant to the engineering technology domain. Graduates will also apply, analyse and synthesise solutions to fundamental concepts required for mechanical engineering discipline in a critical manner.
- Graduates will have communication skills to investigate, analyse and present technical ideas, information and solutions engineering problems in a professional and organised manner across the engineering technology domain.

Continuing Studies
Employment Outcomes and Pathways
Students who have a basic undergraduate certificate in mechanical engineering degree can enhance their ability and knowledge in the mechanical field, enabling them to gain and hold employment.
Graduates will be able to work in a wide range of manufacturing, mechanical design, material fabrication, commissioning, consultation, industrial operation and maintenance, project management and process industries in junior, technical support or entry level role.
Further study pathway with EIT would be the Bachelor of Science (Mechanical Engineering) - Master of Engineering (Mechanical).
