Mechatronic Engineering (specialisation)

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.
