Aim

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical and Mechatronic) uses an industry focused, project-based
teaching and learning approach to develop professional mechanical and mechatronic engineers who are well
prepared to work in diverse, interdisciplinary teams to solve complex problems in a socially and culturally
appropriate manner.

Content & Structure

This program requires completion of courses totalling 144 units, and comprises a common first year across all
Engineering disciplines. The first two years of the program lay the foundation of mathematics, materials,
mechanics, computing, engineering graphics, fluids, thermodynamics and mechanical design principles. In the
third year of study, students will concentrate on mechatronic systems and their mechanism, as well as a set of
mechanical discipline core courses. A project-based course is placed in the second half of the third year, which
enables students to synthesise and apply the skills and knowledge accumulated throughout the program and
mandated completion of the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program. Further advanced courses on control,
machine learning, autonomous system design and industrial actuation are offered in the final year.

There is an emphasis throughout the program on preparing students for professional engineering practice as well as on knowledge application to analysing complex engineering problems and to developing and implementing
practical solutions. The degree develops professional engineering skills in a Capstone experience project, and
research abilities in an Honours project, both of which spanning the full duration of the final year.

From 4 August 2025, the University of South Australia will no longer be accepting applications for new students. Study at Adelaide University.
