Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronic) with Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences
B.E(Mt)/Ma
|
| Location: | North Terrace Campus |
| Duration: | 5 years
(full-time or
part-time equivalent)
|
| Degree/Award: | Double Degree |
Mechatronic Engineering combines mechanics with electronics and computing, that is, it integrates machinery with electronics and computer control. Mechatronic engineers need to be comfortable and competent with cutting edge technology in both Mechanical and Electrical & Electronic Engineering. They may design, construct and maintain intelligent machines, micro-machines, smart structures, intelligent systems, control systems and consumer products such as cameras, washing machines or a fully automated robotic assembly line or they may be involved with defence technology and systems.
This degree combines courses of mechanical and electrical and electronic engineering together with courses in mechatronics and robotics. Some of the areas of study include mechanics, electronics, design, signal analysis and processing, computer systems, computer science, sensor and actuator technology, automatic control, electrical system design, robotics and microprocessor technology.
In the final year of the academic program students can choose elective courses from a number of different areas including vibrations, aerospace engineering, computational fluid dynamics, airconditioning, acoustics and advanced materials. There is a strong focus on design and project work throughout the academic program with design projects as part of each year's program of study. The academic program also develops written and oral communication skills and familiarity with project management.
Students may choose to combine Mechatronic Engineering with Mathematical and Computer Sciences as it will strengthen their skills in mathematics, statistics and computing. Combining this engineering program with a strong mathematics program such as this, will provide an opportunity for research and enhanced employment prospects.
