Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (Honours)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationRobots can’t replace you if you’re building them.
By studying the Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (Honours), you will become an engineer capable of solving the world’s greatest challenges.
Mechatronics engineering involves the synergy of electrical, computer and mechanical technologies that lead to new solutions to industrial problems. Students study a diverse range of courses like technical design, automation, and operational performance of electromechanical systems. Mechatronics engineers work in industries such as defence, advanced manufacturing, mining and health.
As an engineer, you might develop companion robots to help care for our aging population. You could design drones that assist in search and rescue operations following a natural disaster. Or you could join our team of precision mechatronics researchers and work on medical solutions such as the endoscopic ‘pill robot’ for non-invasive 3D imaging and intervention.
