Aim

The aim of the program is to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to function as an effective mechatronic engineer. This requires studies in the foundations of electrical and mechanical engineering and the integration of these areas to problems involving the design of mechatronic systems.

Content & Structure

The degree program provides students with a solid foundation in the necessary core areas of mechanical and, electrical and electronic engineering, computing and mathematics. It provides students with the opportunity to integrate these studies into the development of mechatronic systems in areas such as autonomous systems, robotics and industrial automation.
There is an emphasis throughout the program on preparing students for professional engineering practice and on the application of knowledge to practical engineering problems. In first year, students undertake foundation studies in computing, mathematics, mechanics, electricity, electronics and computer systems. Second year courses provide skills and knowledge in the theory that underpins electrical and mechanical engineering along with advanced studies in applied mathematics and computing. In the final two years of the program students will study courses which integrate the foundations they have learned and which provide advanced studies in areas such as embedded systems, control systems and mechanical engineering design. The final year has some electivity which allows students to select the specialist courses they wish to study in areas such as industrial automation and robotics along with a final year project.
