This double degree is designed to increase student’s knowledge, skills and understanding in Mechanical Engineering principles and fundamental knowledge of business studies. In addition to the Mechanical Engineering foundation studies, technical studies, design and projects, and management and business studies, students under this course are required to choose one of the two approved business majors (Finance or Management). Business studies start in the third year of the program.

Students who successfully complete the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours) will be able to:

• apply coherent and advanced knowledge of the chosen major in engineering in diverse contexts and applications using critical thinking and judgment
• apply knowledge of research principles and methods to plan and execute a piece of research with some independence
• apply problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies to identify and provide innovative solutions to complex problems with intellectual independence
• apply abstraction, mathematics and engineering fundamentals to the analysis, design and operation of a model, using appropriate engineering methods and tools
• communicate proficiently in professional practice to a variety of audiences, function as an effective member or leader of a diverse team, and use the basic tools and practices of project management within project work
• demonstrate professionalism, integrity, ethical conduct, professional accountability and an awareness of professional engineering practice
• reflect on and take responsibility for their own learning and self-management processes, and manage their own time and processes effectively

Students who successfully complete the Bachelor of Business will be able to:

• define and integrate theoretical principles applicable to business and apply those principles in a range of practices
• systematically review and critically evaluate research from a variety of sources in order to make informed judgements on options for innovatively solving a range of problems
• formulate creative solutions that are fit for purpose and demonstrate cognisance of the impact of business decisions on the triple bottom line
• coherently articulate a line of reasoning demonstrating cultural sensitivity and apply a framework to analyse and offer solutions to ethical dilemmas
• communicate a range of business arguments by evaluating and implementing alternative communication strategies as appropriate to the audience
• build on and continuously develop the intellectual independence to be critical and reflective learners, cognisant of new technologies
• work collaboratively in diverse groups.

Course structure
For the completion, students are required to complete a total of 40 units (500 credit points) consisting of:

12 Engineering core units of study (150 credit points)
16 units of study from Mechanical Major (200 credit points)
4 Business core units of study (50 credit points)
8 Finance OR Management units of study (100 credits points)

Career opportunities

Graduates of the double-degree program may select paths from either Engineering or Commerce, or both discipline areas. In general, they have more options in securing a job when compared to those graduated with single degree.

Graduates are eligible to register as Graduate Engineers with Board of Engineering Malaysia (BEM) and to apply for graduate membership with Engineers Australia (EA).

Key Information due to COVID-19: Swinburne will continue with its fully online learning for our students. Online learning and assessments continues to be the primary mode of delivery for the majority of the learning activities.
