Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics)
University
Mechatronics is the title given to the subdiscipline of engineering which studies the integration of mechanical and electronic technologies to create 'intelligent' machines, systems and controllers. High levels of automation in manufacturing environments require designers with skills in the mechanical sciences since the machinery and robotic equipment utilised are fundamentally mechanical in nature. The actuation, monitoring and control of the mechanical devices are, however, achieved by electrical and electronic means. This course provides graduates with skills and knowledge in both mechanical and electrical technologies that will equip them for employment in manufacturing and related environments.
