Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Mechatronic)
Help engineer the future. Forget about robots coming to take your job - instead, make it your job to design the robots and automated systems of the future! Mechatronics is an exciting field that combines the best of mechanical, electrical and electronic and computer engineering to create new technologies and constantly improve the systems around us.
As an Engineering Technologist, you will attain the skills to: focus on interactions with the system, modify and adapt established engineering practices and advance engineering technology.
In this program you will:
- Study the fundamentals of engineering, including applied maths, physics, statistics and system design
- Learn about robotics and autonomous systems, communication engineering, digital logic and computer programming, machine vision and more
- Get hands-on experience through 40 days of work experience
- Learn from industry professional through guest lectures and site visits that expose you to current engineering professional practice
