the School of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering.
R050
Bachelor of Engineering
(Robotics and Mechatronics)
The course aims to develop innovative skills in robotics and
mechatronic systems, computing, electronics, mechanical
and electrical engineering, in national and international
contexts.
Courses are arranged to allow flexibility so that any student
may transfer from full-time to part-time studies or vise-versa,
at particular points of a course without loss of credit for
subjects passed.
The degree course program combines a thorough education
in the application of engineering science principles with a
broad span of studies important to a professional engineer.
Career potential
Graduates from the Robotics and Mechatronics program can
take up careers in a wide spectrum of industries including
robotics, airlines, chemical industries, automotive, appliance
manufacturing and industrial research. Contributions can be
made to these industries in a variety of roles including
design engineer, project planner, ~roduct designer and
project manager.
