Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Mechatronic)

The first two years of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechatronic) are almost identical to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical), with strong emphasis on design and engineering science fundamentals and some study of electronics in second year.
This enables students to build a solid foundation and core skills and knowledge in mechanical engineering.
In the third year students study a mix of mechanical and electronic and electrical engineering courses with additional studies in computer systems and programming.
In the fourth year, students are able to choose two elective courses and undertake a major project in the mechatronic area.
Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved practical experience.
Academic Program Rules The Calendar is a comprehensive handbook of the University's academic program rules.

Some students may need to modify their enrolment based on previous study (e.
g.
students granted advanced standing/credit, students repeating previously failed courses).
ENGINEERING COMMUNICATION Unless exempted by the Faculty, all international students are required to take Engineering Communication.
At the commencement of study, the Faculty will advise which course is to be replaced by ENG 3003 Engineering Communication EAL.
COURSE AVAILABILITY^Check the course planner for course availability noting the availability of all courses is conditional on the availability of staff and facilities.
