Program Overview

From the Egyptian pyramids, agricultural mechanisation and cars to TV, mobile phones, space shuttles and mechanical hearts, engineers and their pioneering innovations have been critical to growth and prosperity across the ages.

The flexible Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) has a strong focus on practical learning and offers you the choice of five specialisations. You’ll learn how to identify complex problems and determine how to formulate innovative solutions to today’s complex problems. And you’ll be equipped with the skills you’ll need to mix it with history’s greatest engineers – maybe you’ll have the honour of creating the next lifesaving medical device, a clean water system for remote communities in Africa, or a mobile phone app that keeps children safe.

Specialisation: Mechatronic Engineering
The Mechatronic Engineering specialisation will equip you with skills to design and construct the very robots and their computer systems that will be responsible for creating the autonomous future. You’ll learn how to apply modelling, measurement and simulation techniques, and design software tools to solve problems in a broad range of electromechanical engineering areas, such as robotics, automation, control systems and relevant manufacturing processes. You’ll develop knowledge to design, implement, test, deploy and consider the long-term maintenance of large interdisciplinary (electronic, mechanical, software) systems.
