What You Study
Core
Engineering studies include mathematics, systems design and engineering
computation. Mechatronic Engineering study areas include control
systems, programming, dynamics of machines, and electrical network
analysis and design. At the Masters level of this course the emphasis is
on industry interaction, featuring guest lectures in the areas of
project management, intellectual property, ethics and patenting. In
their final year, students undertake an industry-focussed project, where
they will exercise their technical knowledge and research skills with
access to state-of-the-art facilities.
Graduates have advanced skills and knowledge that can be used in a variety of interesting careers, such as developing ‘smart’ products and systems in the manufacturing or robotics industries. A wealth of job opportunities are available with companies that use advanced automation equipment and computer integrated manufacturing systems, in fields such as aerospace and advanced manufacturing. Graduates can participate in and lead multidisciplinary teams in areas such as product development, manufacturing, computing and electronics, hardware and software, mining engineering and robotics.
