The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) – Mechanical Engineering Major offers a thorough grounding in the principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials science. Students study units like Fluid Mechanics, Machine Design, and Structural Design, developing skills for designing and improving mechanical systems. Career prospects include roles as mechanical engineers, design engineers, and manufacturing specialists, preparing graduates for impactful careers in automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and industrial sectors.

At Royal Institute of Colombo, students are given the opportunity to pursue the first two years of their degree in Sri Lanka, all from the comfort of their home, saving substantial costs. RIC ensures a smooth transition to Deakin Australia to complete the final two years.
