Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Scholar) will equip you with the fundamentals of engineering, both technically and via communication skills. Faculty members who drive relevant and cutting-edge research will teach you how to apply this knowledge in real situations, preparing you to engineer the future.
 
Choose from a wide range of majors including biomedical, civil, computer and autonomous systems, electrical and electronics, environmental, materials, mechanical, mechatronic, mining, or telecommunications engineering and Internet of Things.

From second year, scholar students will also have the option to complete a double major. Combinations include civil and environmental, civil and mining, electrical and electronics and computer and autonomous systems, mechanical and materials, mechanical and mining, mining and environmental, mining and materials.
 
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Scholar) includes 12-weeks hands-on industry experience, either in Australia or overseas, as well as a range of industry projects and other career-ready learning opportunities.

See the course handbook for more information.

Mechatronic Engineering (major)

Mechatronic engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and control engineering to design and create innovative products and processes. This integration of disciplines is aimed at producing more functional, adaptable and intelligent systems.

Mechatronics is widely used in various industries, including automotive, manufacturing, aerospace, medical, and consumer electronics, to create more efficient, versatile, and reliable systems. It's a dynamic field that adapts to the rapid changes in technology, constantly evolving with innovations in areas like Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and smart manufacturing.

In your third and fourth year of the major you will branch into more specialised areas including: control theory, microcontroller architecture and applications, electronics, mechanical engineering design, foundation in electrical energy utilisation, robotics and flexible automation. This major also includes 12-weeks hands-on industry experience, either in Australia or overseas, as well as a range of industry projects and other career-ready learning opportunities.

Our faculty's commitment to excellence is internationally recognised, as evidenced by the consistent ranking of our civil, manufacturing, mineral and mining, materials, and mechanical engineering courses among the top 150 universities worldwide.
