Engineering news on Phys.org
"In Australia, mechanical engineering degrees are awarded as Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) or similar nomenclature[9] although there are an increasing number of specialisations. The degree takes four years of full time study to achieve. To ensure quality in engineering degrees, Engineers Australia accredits engineering degrees awarded by Australian universities in accordance with the global Washington Accord. Before the degree can be awarded, the student must complete at least 3 months of on the job work experience in an engineering firm."
 
Thank you for your reply, but other than that, any specific skill that i have to master it ? For example, CAD, calculation, and etc. And the most important things here is I am an ASIAN ! It is very hard for an Asian to get a job over there right?
