BSc Science / Engineering
Until I started at UWA I had no idea what an engineer does. I chose the Science / Engineering course because I've always been good at maths and science and I like knowing how things work. Coming to the end of the course I am very happy with my decision to do Mechanical Engineering and Physics.
Mechanical Engineering is a broad major and I have really enjoyed the variety. You can study acoustics and noise control, thermodynamics (which covers everything from airconditioning to engines), manufacturing, sustainable development and much more. My favourite subjects are dynamics and vibration, and control systems. I also like the hands-on components and practical nature of the degree.
A Physics degree complements Mechanical Engineering very well and gives you a technical advantage. You learn about state of the art technology, electronics, magnetism, nanotechnology and the quantum world . and you get to play with liquid nitrogen and supermagnets!
