Combine mechanical engineering with industrial design in this double degree to become a product design engineer who integrates the knowledge of materials, manufacturing, and human-centred design with sustainability, innovation and aesthetics.
You'll develop a high-level of knowledge and learn advanced technical and hands-on making skills to design and develop manufactured products that are functional, ergonomic, beautiful, and well-engineered.
You'll learn how to tackle and solve complex problems with creative and innovative solutions. You'll build the design and engineering skills to develop a variety of products such as hi-tech appliances, furniture, tools, industrial equipment, areas of mobility design, health and medical product design, prosthetics and robotics. Your goal will be to learn how to create well-designed and well-engineered products.
You'll be guided by Monash academics, practising industrial designers, engineers and top researchers as you learn to use design as a problem-solving tool in hands-on, practical studios.
You'll also learn the tools and techniques to transform your ideas into prototypes with moving parts and realistic details and have access to the latest 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC milling tools, thermoformers (plastic moulding) and a wide range of traditional wood and metalworking facilities.
Your final year culminates in a major design project where you will showcase your work to industry, potential employers alongside family and friends.
