INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
The course is planned to teach and develop the knowledge and qualities that are needed for a young person who sees his or her future career in engineering industry.
It has been designed to provide the basic academic training in mathematical and physical sciences, followed by study of the particular fields of interest to an industrial engineer.
These are industrial electronics, industrial management, automatic control, metal cutting and forming, plant purchase and layout, design of various products, work study and operational research.
The first two years of the course are the same as for many other branches of engineer
-
ing (civil, electrical, mechanical, etc.) and the third year has a lot in common with the mechanical engineering course. After this, some specialized subjects are covered.
The degree was introduced in the University in 1960, to start to satisfy the heavy industrial call for young men and women interested in greater productivity in Australian secondary industry, young people who wished to play a constructive part in such problems as controlling rising costs, increasing exports, increasing living standards and applying and developing existing management and production techniques. It will be well known that industrial engineering has been for many years a popular and vital course in the leading universities in the U.S.A., and that this has led to the rapid and efficient development of industry in that country.
Very briefly, to give an indication of some of the detailed work of the course the following matters are covered in a reasonable way in the time available: Method of calculation of wages, industrial relations and development of unions, production control and planning, time and motion study, plant layout, personnel selection, cost analysis, maintenance of capital plant and tool and machine design.
On completion of the course, undergraduates receive the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Engineering. There are no separate courses for Pass & Honours and results of the final examinations determine the class of the degree awarded.
POST- GRADUATE WORK
For the M.Eng.Sc. or Ph.D. degrees. Selected subjects, of interest to the student and to industry, are available for research and there are, at present, no formal lectures or course
-
work; the student does his research in close collaboration with, and under the wing of, a qualified supervisor. Only those students with an honours degree are normally accepted for further study.
ADDITIONAL
Young people who feel that they may have an interest in this field are advised to read carefully the description of Mechanical Engineering given in the following pages, par- ticularly in regard to the early years of the course.
PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION
Graduates from the degree course in Industrial Engineering at the University of Mel- bourne are granted full exemption from the examination requirements of The Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, for acceptance as Chartered Mechanical Engineers, hence the Industrial Engineer achieves the dual recognition as an Industrial Engineer and also as a Chartered Mechanical Engineer, subject to the necessary experience.
The Melbourne degree in Industrial Engineering exempts from the full examination requirements of the Institution of Engineers, Australia, and the Institution of Production Engineers.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Undergraduate Training
The undergraduate course has been planned to provide students with a broad scientific training in fundamental studies which are related to various fields in mechanical engineering. In the final year more specialized aspects are considered so that the student may devote greater attention to the particular studies which he finds most interesting. A wide choice of research projects and laboratory experiments give ample opportunity for applying the theoretical methods learnt in the lecture courses.
The mechanical engineering undergraduate receives a thorough grounding in mathe- matics, physics and chemistry, together with courses in fluid flow and applied heat flow, vibrations and machine dynamics, strength of materials, metallurgy, electrical machines and electronics, automatic control and engineering design. At the Final Year level there
4Z
are optional subjects in mathematics, business administration, engineering production, history and philosophy of science and human engineering.
On completion of the course undergraduates receive the Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering. There are no separate courses for Pass and Honours, and results of the final examinations determine whether a student graduates with the Pass degree or whether he is awarded first, second or third class honours.
Post-graduate Research Facilities
On completion of the undergraduate course excellent facilities are available for graduates to proceed by research to the higher degrees of. M.Eng.Sc. and Ph.D. Reference should be made to the Research and Investigation Report for information regarding current research activities carried out in the mechanical engineering department. The following projects were under way in 1966.
Size effect in metal cutting; residual stress in machined surfaces; wear of sliding metal surfaces; oblique machining with a single cutting edge; wear on the rake face of a cutting tool; anisotropy and the Bauschinger effect in cold rolled metals; stress analysis of dis- continuous machining; yield criterion of polythene; statistical analysis of the hydro- dynamic lubrication of journal bearings; input signal stabilization of control system; the effect of Roots blower characteristics on two-stroke engine performance; Roots blower performance analysis; air consumption measurements using radio-active techniques; steam losses in transmission lines; analysis of flow round a Pitot tube; solar energy development;
the effect of water injection on internal combustion; hovercraft development; three- dimensional yawed boundary layers; the turbulent shear layer in a line vortex; the effect of roughness on turbulent boundary layers; heat transfer in film cooling; the effect of vortex generators on heat transfer; the drag of bluff bodies in boundary layers; flow round bodies near a wall; the effect of aspect ratio on wind forces on building models;
wind pressures on tall buildings; the effect of gusts on wind forces; human engineering aspects in automobile design; steerability; cars on curves; high strain rate metal deformation.
The mechanical engineering department has recently been transferred to a new five•
storey building which is being equipped with special laboratories for large-scale expansion of post-graduate work.
Human Engineering
Within the framework of the mechanical engineering course a study is made of the effect of interaction between human operators, machines and the environment in so far as they affect problems of road safety, automobile design, aircraft design and so on.
Choice of optional projects on problem investigation in these and similar fields are avail
-
able at Final Year and the design work throughout the course lays some stress on human factors. At the post-graduate level, graduates from all engineering departments can tackle proЫems involving not only engineering principles but also aspects of psychology, physiology and statistical analysis.
Career Opportunities
Intending students should obtain from the University Appointments Board (in the University Grounds) the careers booklet on Mechanical Engineering which sets out quite fully the various avenues of research, commercial, industrial and governmental employ- ment available following graduation.
Professional Status
The bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering gives full exemption from the corporate membership examination of the Institution of Engineers, Australia. It also gives exemption from Parts I and II of the examination of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, which is equivalent to the recognition afforded universities such as London, Cambridge, Birmingham, etc.
