Bachelor of Engineering<br />

(Mechatronics)<br />

G69 - JO<br />

Duration: 4 Years<br />

Practicum: Yes<br />

Mechatronics Engineering is the integration of electrical,<br />

electronic and computer engineering with mechanical and<br />

industrial engineering enabling the development of intelligent<br />

machines and advanced manufacturing and processing systems.<br />

Areas of study within Mechatronics include mechanics, computer<br />

aided design and computer aided manufacturing, analog<br />

and digital electronics, signal analysis, electro‐mechanical<br />

systems, advanced materials, sensor technology, automatic<br />

control, robotics, system design and development and project<br />

management. Graduates will have competencies in electrical,<br />

electronic and mechanical engineering, and be able to participate<br />

in and lead complex multi-disciplinary projects.<br />

Mechatronics Engineers have diverse employment<br />

opportunities in most sectors of industry including product<br />

design and development, manufacturing, mining and resource,<br />

process control and automation, public utilities, road and<br />

transport, defence, aerospace, and consulting.<br />

Admission requirements<br />

Year 12 Maths; or equivalent.<br />

Year 12 Physics or equivalent is desirable.<br />

Additional Course Information<br />

Professional Accreditation<br />

Engineers Australia has granted Accreditation to this course.<br />

Practicum Placement<br />

During the course, students will be required to undertake a<br />

minimum of 12 weeks practical work experience located in<br />

an engineering industry environment. This will normally be<br />

undertaken during a vacation period, even though it is listed as a<br />

unit for Year 4 (ENS4111).<br />

Bachelor of<br />

Engineering Science<br />

K94 - JO<br />

Duration: 3 Years<br />

Provides a high-quality and broad-based coverage of<br />

multi-disciplinary engineering. In the modern engineering<br />

environment, large-scale engineering projects are<br />

increasingly likely to be of a highly multi-disciplinary nature,<br />

requiring engineers from diverse backgrounds to be able to<br />

work effectively as a team to deliver the outcomes. In such<br />

environments, a broader understanding of engineering, beyond<br />

one specific area of specialisation, is highly desirable and<br />

advantageous.<br />

Developing such breadth in four-year engineering courses is a<br />

challenge as it compromises the level of specialist knowledge<br />

that is also required from a graduate engineer.<br />

Admission requirements<br />

Year 12 Maths; or equivalent and Year 12 Physics; or equivalent.<br />

Additional Course Information<br />

This educational program follows the ‘3+2’ model of<br />

engineering education which has been widely adopted in<br />

Europe. Graduates of ECU’s ‘3+2’ engineering program will<br />

have an edge in their engineering careers due to greater depth<br />

and breadth in their education compared to standard four-year<br />

engineering courses.<br />
