Description
Are
you interested in developing robots and high-speed automated machines?
As a manufacturing and mechatronics engineer, you can work in many
industries, including the automotive, aerospace, marine, food and
beverage, logistics, mining and service industries. You will be at the
heart of designing systems and equipment that turn raw material into
finished products. Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary engineering area
that involves mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronics,
computer systems and information technology.
Manufacturing
engineering examines the development and planning of processes and
equipment. Mechatronics engineering involves the development of hardware
such as robots and high-speed automated machines to carry out the plan.
The
advanced manufacturing and mechatronics engineering degree specialises
in all aspects of advanced manufacturing processes, from system design
and quality control to the actual building of automatic systems. You
will be able to design and build manufacturing systems that are
environmentally sustainable while also meeting customer needs.
Global connections
Opportunities
are available for final year students to carry out a work placement
overseas with industry partners. Additionally, the option to link with a
multinational organisations such as ABB, Festo, Ford, Holden, Toyota,
Cadbury, NI and SAGE is available for final year projects.
Work experience
You
are expected to obtain a minimum of 12 weeks of relevant vacation
employment that allows you to gain first-hand experience in an
engineering practice environment in which professional engineers are
involved. Australian students may also choose to take part in a one-year
industry placement position. This normally occurs at the middle or at
the end of third year. It not only provides the opportunity for you to
gain academic credit, but also valuable paid industrial experience,
which may lead to an industry-linked final year project or even
full-time employment. You can apply to join companies within Australia
or overseas. In the final year of your studies you will undertake a
major project that is either industry based or simulates an industrial
situation.
Duration
Four years full-time or part-time study may be available.
Years one and two are conducted on the City campus and years three and four are conducted on the Bundoora campus.
