Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Robotics and Mechatronics

Western Sydney University

Robotics and Mechatronic engineering combines electrical, computing and mechanical engineering and is at the forefront in designing smart machines and systems, such as pilotless spacecraft, car cruise control, automated factories and medical telerobotics. Students explore intelligent mechanical systems and automation through an extensive and integrated hands-on laboratory program, as well as work-integrated industry projects. Students learn in-depth knowledge about the design and construction of these systems to integrate, evaluate and address their performance. The multidisciplinary skills students develop are sought after by leading edge industries, including aerospace and biomedical engineering. Graduate destinations include: Robotic and autonomous systems technologist, Autonomous equipment technologist, Electronics design technologist, Instrumentation technologist, Automation technologist, Control systems technologist. This major includes a mandatory 300-hour industrial placement as a completion requirement for Engineers Australia accreditation as an engineering technologist.
