origins dating back to 1856, the University of South Australia
(UniSA) has built on its history to create innovative education and
research opportunities which meet international expectations. UniSA
today has over 36,000 students across its 5 South Australian
campuses, and including approximately 7,000 students enrolled in
its offshore programs. It is a global university, with established
links with other universities on all continents. UniSA is also
known to be a leader in the application of knowledge through a vast
array of mutually beneficial partnerships with industry, business
and the professions. The university offers qualifications from
undergraduate to doctoral level in 40 professional disciplines, and
is widely recognised for its accomplishments in engineering,
business, communication studies, teacher education, health sciences
and social sciences. With such a wide spectrum of academic
disciplines and an excellent national and international reputation
for the quality of its teaching and research program, UniSA
attracts students from a wide range of social and economic
backgrounds from Australia and overseas. Located at the University
of South Australia's Mawson Lakes Campus, the School Of Advanced
Manufacturing And Mechanical Engineering is 1 of 5 schools within
the Division of Information Technology, Engineering and the
Environment. The School of Advanced Manufacturing and Mechanical
Engineering (AME) offers high quality teaching and research in the
areas of advanced manufacturing, engineering design and sustainable
systems and technologies. The school has an excellent national and
international reputation in applied research and has extensive
research projects with Australian industry, as well as with
companies and research institutions from overseas. The school also
offers a range of postgraduate coursework and research degrees in
its areas of specialisation, and is closely affiliated to the
research institute for sustainable systems and technologies and the
Mawson Institute of Advanced Manufacturing.
University of South Australia A Tradition of Excellence In 2009,
UniSA gained significant national acknowledgement for excellence in
teaching quality. Associate Professor Mahfuz Aziz, from the School
of Electrical and Information Engineering, was named as the prime
ministers Australian University Teacher of the Year and associate
professor Julie Mills, from the School of Natural and Built
Environments, was awarded the Australasian Association for
Engineering Education Teaching Excellence award. We received a
national award fromthe Business and Higher Education Round Table of
Australia in 2008 in recognition of our sustained efforts to foster
collaboration with business. We have formed a partnership with the
prestigious Australian National University to develop joint
programs. Our MBA program is now among Australias top 10, with a
5star rating in the 2009 Good Universities Guide. We have received
multi-million dollar funding for two new research centres that
promote our core values of cultural diversity and international

AIMS AND OBJECTIVESThe Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical)
program has been designed to prepare highly skilled professional
engineers to meet the needs of employers in the mechanical
industry. The program is delivered by the school of advanced
manufacturing and mechanical engineering, University of South
Australia. The program allows polytechnic graduates to upgrade
their qualifications to the professional level of Bachelor of
Engineering. This is achieved by specialist study in mechanical
technology, robotics and other forms of automation, computer-aided
engineering, computer-integrated design, design for manufacture and
assembly, and operations management and project planning and
control. Students also carry out a major industry based
developmental or research project that requires the integration of
the various skills developed during the course. In addition to the
above, graduates from the program should: Possess sufficient
knowledge and skills in the field of mechanical and manufacturing
engineering. Be immediately useful to industry as professional
engineers with specialist knowledge in the areas of mechanical and
manufacturing engineering. Be able to maintain and manage
engineering systems and facilities. Students with relevant work
experience or further relevant studies post polytechnic diploma,
may apply for additional credit for a maximum of 4 courses (18
units), by submitting a detailed report demonstrating that they
meet the learning outcomes for 4 elective courses. The application
for additional credit will be considered on an individual,
case-by-case basis. Seminars are fully conducted by visiting
lecturers from the university. The curriculum (excluding the
electives) is taught over 4 terms of 5/6 months each. Classes are
generally held in the evenings and over weekends to suit the busy
schedules of program participants.
Professional RecognitionThe program is professionally accredited
by Engineers Australia and is recognised as satisfying the
requirements for graduate membership of Engineers Australia and
comparable international institutions.

Graduation & RecognitionStudents who successfully complete
the program will be awarded the prestigious BEng or BEng (Hons) in
Mechanical degree of the University of South Australia. The degree
will be the same as that awarded to on-campus students of the
university. Graduates will be allowed to use the title BEng or BEng
(Hons) after their names. The BEng program is the same as the
on-campus program, and is fully accredited by the Institution of
Engineers Australia as a single program with multiple delivery
locations (Australia and Singapore). Presentation ceremonies are
held yearly in Singapore and graduation ceremonies are held twice a
year in Adelaide. Graduates are encouraged to attend the degree
convocation in Adelaide with their families whenever possible.
Fee Protection Scheme (FPS)Under the fee protection scheme,
Kaplan Higher Education Institution has put in place an insurance
arrangement that ensures fees paid by students to the school are
insured by Lonpac Insurance Bhd, a Council for Private Education
(CPE) appointed service provider. The insurance protection serves
to protect the students' fees in the event a Private Education
Institution (PEI) is unable to continue operations due to
insolvency, and/or regulatory closure. Furthermore, the FPS
protects the student if the PEI fails to pay penalties or return
fees to the student arising from judgments made against it by the
Singapore courts. The FPS is compulsory for all local and
international students taking courses at PEIs seeking EduTrust
certification. FPS applies to all courses with duration of more
than 1 month or 50 hours. Students enrolled in these courses will
be required to pay a fee for FPS which varies depending on the fees
of the courses insured.
