What is the basic skills for a mech eng student required to work in AUS?

AI Thread Summary
To work as a mechanical engineer in Australia, graduates need a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) and must complete at least three months of practical work experience. Key skills include proficiency in CAD software, engineering calculations, and an understanding of engineering principles. Graduates should also be aware that Engineers Australia accredits their degrees, ensuring they meet international standards. While there may be challenges for Asian graduates in the job market, developing technical skills and gaining relevant experience can enhance employability. Overall, mastering both technical and soft skills is crucial for success in the Australian engineering sector.

Hi everyone:

I am currently a 4th year student of Monash Uni in Melbourne. *graduate soon

1. Can anyone here tell me what is the basic requirement/knowledge/skills of a fresh graduated mech student that required to work in AUS?
 
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?
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
