Students can develop advanced research skills and further the growth of mechanical and manufacturing engineering.
Students will join an active research community and work with academics, peers and partner organizations who have demonstrated research success in a range of specialties, including:
- mechanical engineering:
- aerodynamics
- alternative energy technologies (e.g. solar cells)
- applied heat and mass transfer
- conservation and renewable energy (CARE)
- combustion and fuels
- computational engineering (including CAD, FEA, CFD)
- dynamics and control and noise vibration harshness engine and supercharger technologies
- industrial and vehicle
- sports engineering
- vehicle design and crashworthiness
- virtual engineering and design.
- manufacturing engineering:
- additive manufacturing
- computer-integrated manufacturing
- design for manufacturing
- forming and machining technology
- high-speed automation
- operations
- polymeric and composite product development
- quality management in manufacturing
- robotics, laser technology.
Students can use their advanced engineering skills to contribute to Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology’s applied industry focused mechanical and manufacturing research projects.
