Tim Dangerfield

Mechanical Engineer

A Mechanical Engineer working in the rail industry designs and oversees the engineering of passenger trains from concept to delivery.

It involves working with clients to establish needs and requirements, creating and refining concepts, working with the draftsmen to lay out the numerous technical drawings that form the foundations of the train, and finally staying on hand throughout the entire production process to iron out problems that crop up as the concept becomes reality.

Bombardier

Every day, around the globe, Bombardier manufactures state-of-the-art planes and trains that help people and goods get where they need to go.

And every day, we work diligently to earn our worldwide leadership in aerospace and rail transportation.

We do this by engineering ingenious and sustainable solutions to today’s mobility challenges and opportunities.

Griffith University

Griffith's engineering degrees are known for their innovation and practical relevance. The Bachelor of Engineering (Software) allows students to integrate engineering and IT - two very compatible and often interdependent disciplines. Queensland's first degree in environmental engineering was also developed at Griffith University. Industry professionals are involved in developing and delivering courses, ensuring that when you graduate, you'll not only meet the requirements for professional registration in your chosen field, but also have the skills employers demand.

Curtin University

Mechanical Engineers are involved with the conception, design, manufacture, control, maintenance and management of any system in which motion is a key feature. The system may comprise moving solid elements - components - combined to create a mechanism or machine. Alternatively, it may involve a fluid flowing within or around a solid structure. Mechanical Engineering permits us to harness the energy and forces that exist in Nature, providing for the needs of society. The range of Mechanical Engineering is therefore vast; machines from the size of micro-mechanical devices through to massive power-generating turbines are covered by the discipline...

University of New South Wales

For graduates of our School, engineering might mean designing high-speed catamarans for export, or planning the large-scale manufacture of pasta, or designing a wing flap on a new aeroplane, or improving a robot, or inventing a new power-steering valve for cars, or developing ozone-layer-friendly air conditioning. For all of these, engineers must keep cost and safety in mind. For more information on why people choose to study engineering see A Personal View. We have degree programs in: * Aerospace Engineering * Manufacturing Engineering and Management * Mechanical Engineering * Mechatronic Engineering * Naval Architecture...
