Master of Engineering (Advanced) (Mechatronics)
M.E.A(Mec)
|
| Location: | North Terrace Campus |
| Duration: | 2 years
(full-time or
part-time equivalent)
|
| Degree/Award: | Masters by Coursework |
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 technologies in both Mechanical and Electrical and 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 advanced degree combines courses of mechanical and electrical and electronic engineering together with courses in mechatronics and robotics. Specific 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.
Well-suited to graduates wanting more than the one year masters engineering program, this program gives the option of studying technical courses at an advanced level and the opportunity to engage in a research project.
A 48-unit program, students will complete the requirements for the Master of Engineering, with additional study comprising 12 units of more advanced technical coursework. A project to the value of 12 units introduces candidates to research.
Intending students should consult the program coordinator early in the year in which they plan to study to check when particular courses or projects will be available.
The Master of Engineering (Advanced) program is a 48 unit program, suitable for engineering graduates with Honours who wish to pursue further studies, as well as engineers with relevant work experience (up to 12 additional units of enabling courses may be required, depending on the exact nature of the applicant's qualifications - this may extend study by one semester). The program includes 9 units of core courses designed to provide generic skills in statistics, numerical analysis and project management, which are applicable across all fields of engineering. The remaining 39 units consist of a 12 unit research project (in the second year of the program) and 27 units of discipline specific courses that provide additional technical material at a level beyond that of a first engineering degree. Depending on which of the latter courses are selected, candidates will be able to either explore a sub-discipline at some depth or acquire further knowledge across a broad front.
