Engineering Institute of Technology
Advanced Diploma of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering
Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)Remote Engineering, also referred to as Online Engineering, is a recent development in Engineering and Science. Its aim is to facilitate the shared use of equipment, resources, and specialized software such as simulators.
The International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE) is an international non-profit organization. Its objective is to encourage the wider development, distribution and application of Online Engineering (OE). The main forum of the OE community is the annual International Conference on Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation ('REV').
Mechatronics, on the other hand, is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and integrates several technologies or subsystems. Mechatronics is the key to modern video and CD disk drives, camcorders, avionics, aircraft fly-by-wire, computerized fuel injection for motor vehicles, anti-lock braking systems, smart (autonomous) vehicles and smart weapons such as military drones used for aerial reconnaissance purposes. In the process automation field Mechatronics is also present in systems such as smart conveyer lines and assembly robots.
A Mechatronics engineer or technician has to view a system as a whole, and offer solutions to problems with multiple variables. As explained above, modern systems do not only combine several fundamental disciplines such as control theory, electronic systems, mechanical systems and computers, but they often require hybrid technologies where these basic disciplines overlap, such as electro-mechanics and Programmable Logic Controllers. It is therefore mandatory for the engineer to transcend the traditional barriers between these disciplines, and acquire skills such as developing microprocessor software, designing and implementing sophisticated PID control schemes, developing mathematical models of processes (for simulation purposes), selecting appropriate drives (linear, rotary, electrical, hydraulic, etc), selecting appropriate sensors and signal conditioning, and designing or integrating mechanical components.
Just like Ethernet networking and IEEE 802.11 wireless (Wi-Fi), the integration of technologies in engineering applications as embodied in Remote Engineering, Mechatronics and Robotics is upon us, and it is here to stay. And, what’s more, it is evolving at an exponential rate that will, in 10 years’ time, make some of today’s technology look like museum artifacts. This makes it almost mandatory for everyone in the Engineering world to become familiar with relevant technology or face obsolescence.

About Engineering Institute of Technology
With over ten years of experience providing engineering education, the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) continues to create pathways and opportunities for aspiring engineers that help close the gap between education and the professional workplace, whether you are studying online or at one of our Australian campuses.
Our mission is to provide students throughout the world with measurable and significant productivity gains in their workplace through cutting-edge and applied engineering vocational and higher education.
EIT is proud to offer awards in a growing array of engineering fields. We deliver professional certificates of competency, diplomas and advanced diplomas, undergraduate and graduate certificates, bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and a doctor of engineering. These program types have been designed to suit the needs of engineers and aspiring engineers from varied backgrounds. Our engineering lecturers and instructors have extensive real engineering experience in the industry from around the world.
Our unique online programs are taught using live and interactive sessions, combined with practical exercises completed using remote laboratories and simulation software. As an online student, you will benefit from EIT’s unique personalized synchronous delivery methodology that encourages you to advance your technical and technological knowledge, while forming global networks and balancing life and work commitments.
EIT has campuses across Australia in Perth (Western Australia), Melbourne (Victoria), and Brisbane (Queensland).
Their new Brisbane campus, centrally located and just a short walk from the central station, provides students with easy access to public transport. Facilities include classrooms with internet access, teaching labs, student support, breakout areas, a first aid room, and a library.
Brisbane, dubbed the 'sunny capital' of Australia, offers a blend of modernity and natural beauty with its stunning skyline and river. Ranked among the top 30 best student cities globally, it attracts students who enjoy its cosmopolitan atmosphere, warm climate, and outdoor lifestyle.
Regardless of whether you are a domestic or international student, when you study on-campus with EIT, our supportive blended learning model and small class sizes encourage you to advance your technical knowledge and remain engaged in your studies while forming global networks.
By joining EIT’s strongly industry-oriented programs, you will gain graduate attributes that will make you an employee of choice and help you advance your career.
