 Being in a technology-driven
industry, I found it really enjoyable
to make use of the technology EIT
used, making it world-class and
one-of-a-kind. This contributed to
making my studies “easier” than
the traditional way of learning.
One of the best things about
studying with EIT was still being
able to spend time with loved ones
while completing my studies.

THE PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE REQUISITE SKILLS IN

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY AND MAINTENANCE TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THESE GROWING NEEDS IN THE MECHANICAL INDUSTRY.

The Master of Engineering (Mechanical) addresses the specific

core competencies and associated knowledge and aptitudes
required of mechanical engineers. The program will provide you
with the requisite skills in mechanical engineering technology and
maintenance to take advantage of these growing needs in the
mechanical industry. Ultimately the degree will imbue graduates with
the confidence required of professional and proficient mechanical
engineers.
Students with a background in mechanical, instrumentation &
control, electrical, or industrial plant and systems engineering will be
particularly well-placed to benefit from this program as it is designed
to prepare you for further career development in the mechanical
design and maintenance industries.
The learning journey culminates with a project which integrates
the knowledge acquired during the program. You will gain a factual
understanding of the content and the process will exercise your
creativity and design-thinking capabilities. Employers are hungry
for these skills, and graduates can expect a significant advantage
when interacting with employers, clients, consultants and fellow
engineering peers.
PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Demonstrate leadership in advanced Mechanical Engineering
(ME) knowledge and skills. Operate as a Professional Engineer
in a practical and ethical manner with a specialty in ME.
2. Evaluate theory and applications of materials, hydraulics,
pneumatics, drives, pumps and compressors.
3. Analyze and implement heat transfer and fluid dynamic
concepts within process engineering.
4. Assess and demonstrate knowledge of design using computer
aided design and finite element methods for applications
in turbine, manufacturing and aircraft/vehicle aerodynamic
design industries.
5. Demonstrate advanced skills in ME-related project
management and systems engineering.
6. Undertake an applied research project in mechanical
engineering.

 EIT recognizes that many master degree students have work and/or family commitments which

Why Online? makes pursuing further study very challenging. Our online programs have been specifically
designed to reduce the significant financial, time and travel commitments often required by on
campus programs.

DELIVERY Remote Labs COMPREHENSIVE EBOOKS AND

EIT uses an innovative, online approach to
ensure that you have a supportive, interactive
and practical education experience. Our
delivery model involves live, interactive online
webinars, remote laboratories, simulation
software and study assignments with support
from a dedicated Learning Support Officer
and Academic Staff. The program consists of
12 core units and one capstone thesis over a
period of 2 years (full-time or equivalent).
Lectures are conducted using a specialized,
live, interactive software system. You will
receive course materials and assessments
through an online student portal which is
available 24 hours a day.
All you need to participate is an adequate
Internet connection, a computer, speakers
and, if possible, a microphone. The software
package and setup details will be sent to you
prior to the program.
For Professional practice, the hands-on
workshops and Professional experience units
serve to verify the essential skills needed in
engineering professional practice and industry
experience.
You will participate in laboratory practical
assignments using a combination of
local laboratories and remote/virtual and
simulation software, to ensure you receive
the requisite hands-on experience. The
hardware equipment connected to most of the
computers, both industrial and educational,
allow you to perform real implementation
of engineering activities by interfacing the
computers, software and simulators to real-
world hardware.
