Mechatronics engineers design and maintain machinery with electronic and computer control systems, such as aircraft, robots, motor vehicles, cameras, power generators and mining and chemical plant machinery.

Mechatronics Engineers:

- design, develop, maintain and manage high-technology engineering systems for the automation of industrial tasks
- apply mechatronic or automated solutions to the transfer of material, components or finished goods
- apply advanced electronic control systems, which are usually computer-driven
- design and assist in the manufacture of consumer products, such as cameras and video recorders
- apply electronic and mechanical processes and computers to tasks where the use of human labour may be dangerous (e.g. underwater exploration, mining or forestry)
- carry out studies into the feasibility, cost implications and performance benefits of new mechatronic equipment.

You'll learn to:

• work in advanced manufacturing, mechatronics, digital systems, microprocessors and embedded systems, factory automation, manufacturing and automotive industries
• design digital and embedded systems
• develop code for automation and robotics applications
• integrate software, electronic hardware and mechanical systems to perform a specified function
