bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics) / bachelor of
Technology (Motorsports)
Duration: 5 years
campus: Joondalup
Practicum: Yes
Mechatronics engineering is the integration of electrical,
electronic and computer engineering with mechanical
engineering, enabling the development of intelligent
machines and advanced manufacturing and processing systems.
“I helped build a vehicle from
the ground-up.”
ECU’s Bachelor of Technology (Motorsports) equipped
me with an in-depth understanding of engineering
processes – as well as efficient time management.
Having access to industry standard equipment has
enhanced my learning and prepared me for the
workplace. My greatest challenge and achievement,
was assisting our team in building a vehicle from
the ground-up and participating in the international
Formula Society of Engineers (FSAE) competition.
It was demanding, but we had approachable, highly
knowledgeable and professional staff to support us.
I’m now back at ECU, enrolled in the Bachelor of
Engineering (Mechanical) course.
Scott Mccormack
Ecu Motorsports graduate and Engineering
Areas of study within mechatronics include mechanics, computer
aided design and manufacturing, analog and digital electronics,
signal analysis, electro-mechanical systems, advanced materials,
sensor technology, automatic control, robotics, system design and
development and project management.
Students will graduate with strong competencies in electrical,
electronic, computer and mechanical engineering, and be able to
participate in and lead complex multi-disciplinary projects.
The Motorsports component of this course further develops
engineering problem solving abilities as well as the technical,
financial and management skills associated with manufacturing
industries, especially the motorsports industry.
Students gain a solid understanding of the entire design,
simulation and fabrication processes, and management issues
associated with the manufacturing industries, with particular
emphasis on motorsports. They have the opportunity to further
develop competencies through the provision of extra-curricular
activities to help progression into the motorsports industry.
They also have broader employment opportunities in product
design and development, manufacturing, marketing and project
management.
Mechatronics engineers have diverse employment opportunities
in most sectors of industry, including product design and
development, manufacturing, mining and resource, process
control and automation, public utilities, road and transport,
defence, aerospace and consulting.
Admission Requirements: Equivalency to Western Australia
Certificate of Education Mathematics (3C/3D) is required, and
equivalency to Western Australia Certificate of Education Physics
(3A/3B) is desirable.

motorsports
bachelor of Technology (Motorsports)
Duration: 3 years
campus: Joondalup
Practicum: Yes
Develops core problem-solving abilities and the technical,
financial and management skills associated with manufacturing
industries in general and the motorsports industry in particular.
Students gain a solid understanding of the design, simulation and
fabrication processes, and the management issues associated
with production of the complex automotive systems and the
components that underpin the motorsport industry.
The course provides a stimulating and supportive learning
environment with an enthusiastic and articulate approach that
reflects the culture of motorsports.
Students have the opportunity to further develop competencies
through the provision of extra-curricular activities to help
progression into the motorsports industry.
They also have broader employment opportunities in product
design and development, manufacturing, marketing and project
management.
