Design Projects
Each year Level II, III, IV and Masters Mechanical Engineering students
undertake projects dealing with both research and design
problems. The problems in Level IV and Masters are defined either by industry or by staff
of the School of Mechanical Engineering and deal with topics
ranging from system analysis and design for manufacture to
experimental investigations of fundamental research problems. On
several occasions the students' solutions have lead to patentable
systems. The Level III project is a design exercise
requiring a broad range of technical input.
The Level II project is a national design and build
competition which is determined by the Institute of
Engineers Australia.
Each year in October an Exhibition is held to showcase the projects.
Level 4 Honours and Masters Projects
The selection and management of the Level 4 Honours and Masters Projects is organised using an online database management system. The system allows staff to post projects and for students to select their preferences.

Formula SAE-A
The School of Mechanical Engineering has been engaged in the Society of
Automotive Engineers car racing competition since 2001. The events involve
the design, build, and racing of a car. All team members are university students
that use their skills to build the most competitive car they can.
For more details see the University of Adelaide Formula-SAE web site.
