Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (Honours)

Course Details

A combined Mechanical and Mechatronics engineering degree provides the student with a significant skill set that will offer ongoing benefits. Mechanical engineers facilitate modern society by designing and developing items that function as key infrastructure. Though only a small area of mechanical engineering, the most recognisable mechanical engineering items are transportation devices including automobiles, trains, buses and aircraft. Mechatronics engineers originated from Mechanical engineers though with a particular focus on the implementation of control theory, computers and electronic hardware. The term Mechatronics is now well established and has its own distinct degree structure, which is still rooted in mechanical engineering. It is evident that a significant amount of mechatronics is involved in most modern mechanical devices, and this program recognises that a broader skill base will be necessary in the future of mechanical or mechatronics engineering.

Qualification: Bachelor Degree (Honours)

Course structure: The Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (Honours) is a five year program, students are required to complete 400 units, which is comprised of: 360 units of core courses; 20 units are directed courses; and 20 units are elective courses.

It may not always be possible to complete this combined Engineering degree within 5 years. This combined Engineering degree is not available for midyear admission by international students.
