Engineering (Robotics And Mechatronics Engineering), Bachelor (Hons)

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) qualifies you to be an accredited professional engineer. It develops problem solving skills and is strengthened by integrated work placement, and practical hands-on design-and-build activities. Engineers have forged some of the greatest developments in society.

Your qualification will be a Bachelor of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering (Honours) Robotics and mechatronics engineers design robots and innovate and improve the automation, performance, features and functionality of products and systems.Robotics and mechatronics engineering combines mechanical and electrical engineering, computing, electronics and control theory. Engineers in this field work with instrumentation, sensors and real time computer systems to control movement, respond to sensors, optimise processes, monitor systems and detect faults. They may design aircraft avionics for autonomous drones, build robots for industry or medical applications, develop systems based on smartphones, help robots understand human behaviour, or be involved in the development, design and operation of processes and production lines needed to make consumer products.You could work in:ManufacturingTransportMedicalAutomotiveAviationAnimatronicsImagingRoboticsTelecommunicationsDefenceDuring level 3, you will focus your studies on one of two streams: Artificial Intelligence or Automation.Artificial IntelligenceArtificial intelligence aims to make systems capable of human-like decision-making and action. This stream covers neural networks and deep learning, advanced engineering design, computer vision systems, and intelligent robotics which enables creation of sophisticated robots capable of fulfilling useful physical tasks that can be applied to many industries.AutomationAutomation is about creating and using technology to produce goods and services more efficiently, safely and to higher standards than previously. This stream allows students to develop an understanding of manufacturing operations, power systems, and changing technologies, and apply this knowledge to a practical design and build project.Find out more about robotics and mechatronics engineering.
