Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics)
Mechatronics engineering is the integration of electrical, electronic, and computer engineering with mechanical and industrial engineering enabling the development of intelligent machines and advanced manufacturing and processing systems.
Areas of study within Mechatronics include mechanics, computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing, analog and digital electronics, signal analysis, electro-mechanical systems, advanced materials, sensor technology, automatic control, robotics, system design and development, and project management.
Students will graduate with competencies in electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering, and be able to participate in and lead complex multi-disciplinary projects.
Students are required to complete practicum placement(s) as part of this course.
Additional Course Information
Practicum Placement
During the course, students will be required to undertake a minimum of 12 weeks practical work experience located in an engineering industry environment. This will normally be undertaken during a vacation period, even though it is listed as a unit for Year 4 (ENS4111).
Employment Opportunities
Mechatronics engineers have diverse employment opportunities in most sectors of industry including product design & development, manufacturing, mining and resource, process control and automation, public utilities, road and transport, defence, aerospace and consulting.
