Engineering (Mechatronics)

Mechatronics engineering is a multidisciplinary program, where knowledge of mechanical and also electrical/electronic engineering are united involving the creation of intelligent machines along with advanced manufacturing and processing systems. Whilst growing the most strong work-related and analytical capabilities typical of almost any engineering application, this specific application is specifically tailored to Australia's resource-based and service businesses. The class starts with a common engineering science foundation in engineering, mechanics, electrical engineering and computing, and then proceeds to insure major engineering topics, including digital electronics and microprocessor technologies, advanced materials and manufacturingengineering and mechanical design.Mechatronics engineering provides broader engineering coverage compared with standard mechanical or electrical engineering programs with the themes of automation, instrumentation, digital electronics, manufacturing, mechanical design, fluid mechanics and control systems.The application is targeted on the creation of knowledge and skills applicable to professional engineering training and along with a sound theoretical base, includes strong elements of technical problem solving, team work and project development. Because of this, as well as having multiple technical and technical skill competencies, graduates will acquire strong analytical abilities, also have the ability to lead complex projects.Areas of analysis within the course include engineering mechanisms, computer-aided design and fabricating, analogue and digital electronics, signal analysis, electro mechanical systems, industrial control, along with robotics.The first period of this course contains a pair of eight units which can be common across all of engineering honours courses. This allows students the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the a variety of engineering disciplines on offer and also the flexibility, if desired, to change to some other engineering discipline/course without punishment following the first period of analysis.

University admission requirements apply. All applicants are required to have Mathematics: Procedures ATAR, with equivalents considered, and Physics ATAR or Engineering Studies ATAR, together using equivalents considered. It is desirable that all applicants have Mathematics: Specialist ATAR, with equivalents considered.
