Overview

This program combines courses in mechanical engineering and electrical and electronic engineering together with courses in computing, mechatronics and robotics. It includes the study of design, microprocessors, electronics, sensors, actuators, signal processing and control. There is a strong focus on design and project work throughout the program. The first two years of the program have a strong emphasis on design and engineering science fundamentals and some study of electronics in second year. This allows students to build a solid foundation in core mechanical engineering skills and knowledge. In the third year students study an equal mix of mechanical and electronic / electrical engineering courses with additional studies in computer systems and programming. In year four, students are able to choose two elective courses as well as a major project in the mechatronic area.
Students are also required to complete 12 weeks of approved practical experience during their study. Graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechatronic) is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 4 years.
