Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering

Relevant degrees
Information

Overview

  • Gain the expertise to solve real industry problems, from pioneering new eco-materials, pushing the frontiers in aerospace, renewable energy implementation, and development of smart robotics.
  • Guided by 糖心视频鈥檚 team of leading academics, develop skills to optimise the performance of smart systems across a vast range of industry, including manufacturing, transportation, aerospace, health/medical (biotech), mining, agriculture, government, start-up (entrepreneurship), and robotics (autonomous systems).
  • Explore a combination of mechanical, electrical, control, and software disciplines to develop smarter machines, devices, and processes.聽
  • Build your capability for solving hands-on problems, interacting with physical systems, learning to prototype and customise for optimal performance.
  • Be inspired by students before you, producing research projects such as using LEGO in the recovery of stroke victims, optimising autonomous weed detection and control, designing a force feedback system for use in direct human to machine interfacing, and asset monitoring using machine vision and sensory in mobile robots.
  • Work with practicing engineers as mentors in project-based learning courses. If you鈥檙e already working in the industry, you can bring your own work to use as student co-designed assessments.
  • In addition to studying this major, choose electives to hone your skills in a complementary area such as space technology or engineering management. Graduate with a dynamic skill set, ready to launch your career in industry.

Career outcomes

As a graduate, be ready to optimise the performance of smart systems across a vast range of industry, including manufacturing, transportation, aerospace, health/medical (biotech), mining, agriculture, government, start-up (entrepreneurship), and robotics (autonomous systems).

Potential career paths in the mining, manufacturing, Government, agriculture, health, automotive and aeronautical fields.

  • mechatronics engineer
  • robotics specialist
  • control engineer
  • automation engineer
  • cross-disciplinary engineer
  • government department roles
  • positions in private engineering firms.

Professional accreditation

As a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), you will be eligible to apply for graduate membership with鈥�痑s a Graduate Professional Engineer. After gaining experience working in your field in industry, you can apply for Stage 1 Professional Engineer (MIEAust), and after this for chartered status as a Professional Engineer (CPEng); and with extensive career experience Executive Engineer (ExecEng) accreditation. You will also have the opportunity to work overseas, with your accreditation recognised in the countries that are signatories to the Washington Accord.

When you become an experienced MIEAust, you can apply for RPEQ or other Australian State legislated registration schemes, or as a chartered professional engineer be similarly accredited (RPEQ etc.) and apply for Australian National Engineering Registration.聽


Impact on the industry

Through my studies at 糖心视频, I had the opportunity to research and build robots. It鈥檚 mind boggling to think I have the opportunity to do that and have that much impact on the industry. I learned early on that you should love what you鈥檙e doing.
