Program Overview

Diploma in Engineering
The Diploma in Engineering is designed to engage, and further prepare you for, tertiary study in Engineering / Engineering Science, developing core skills in mathematical and physics knowledge and skills. The Diploma incorporates units equivalent to the first year of the Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering Science degrees.

Students successfully completing the Diploma in Engineering will be granted entry into the second year of a Bachelor of Engineering Science course at Western Sydney University.

Leading to: Bachelor of Engineering Science
The specialist knowledge of engineering technologists is a key element in the practice of engineering. The engineering technologist’s focused learning and practical skills are highly utilised in industry and make a significant contribution to Australian engineering success and prosperity.

The Western Sydney region has experienced strong growth and the engineering industry requires engineering technologists in a range of specialisations to support industry.

The Bachelor of Engineering Science degree covers all major engineering domains and you can experience many facets of engineering before deciding your area of specialisation at the end of your first year.

Major: Robotics and Mechatronic Engineering
Robotics and Mechatronic engineering combines electrical, computing and mechanical engineering and is at the forefront in designing smart machines and systems, such as pilotless spacecraft, car cruise control, automated factories and medical telerobotics. Students explore intelligent mechanical systems and automation through an extensive and integrated hands-on laboratory program, as well as work-integrated industry projects. Students learn in-depth knowledge about the design and construction of these systems to integrate, evaluate and address their performance. The multidisciplinary skills students develop are sought after by leading edge industries, including aerospace and biomedical engineering.
