Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) - Mechatronics and Robotics

From the aerodynamics of aerospace vehicles to the intricate movements of artificial organs - mechanical engineering is the driving force behind these moving marvels and countless others, from high-speed elevators in towering skyscrapers to the powerful engines that provide power to our cities.

Mechanical engineering is about mastering the design, manufacturing, and control processes to innovate the future generations of intricate machines. In this degree, you will delve into technical concepts and theories, learning how to make these machines work seamlessly and efficiently. You will be equipped with the tools to bring your ideas to life through our cutting-edge workshops, including creation and innovation studios, and Computer, Automation, Robotics, and Mechatronics laboratories, to provide the perfect platform to hone your skills.

Our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) has strong links to industry and a focus on design and creativity. You will:

explore core mechanical engineering disciplines such as aerospace, mechatronics and robotics, mining engineering, and petroleum engineering
complete design-build projects
gain hands-on experience in state-of-the-art facilities like our flight simulator, gas turbine, IC engine, wind tunnel, advanced structures and materials labs
benefit from internships, placements and projects with experts in the field
complete an eight-week practical experience.

Dreams of the future become today's innovations when engineers take ideas from science fiction and turn them into science fact. This major prepares you to take these quantum leaps, by studying the components that make up complex mechatronic and robotic systems.

As a mechanical engineer specialising in mechatronics and robotics, you could find yourself working in a diverse range of industries, such as manufacturing, defence or biomedical engineering.
