Bachelor of Engineering (Adv Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours)

The principal objective of Bachelor of Engineering (Adv Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours) is to create highly employable graduates, capable of working effectively as Manufacturing and Mechatronics engineers in leading-edge national and international companies.

The program is designed to prepare engineers for a wide range of career possibilities by developing particular graduate attributes which will be of on-going benefit to themselves, industry and society as a whole.

Manufacturing industry is highly diversified and graduates from this program will be able to work in a wide range of manufacturing engineering industries - particularly those enterprises based on automation with an enabling mechatronics base.

These firms wound range from Automotive and Aerospace industries to supply chain and logistics based firms.As a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Adv Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours) you are likely to practice as an engineer at a high level.

You will have demonstrated:the ability to utilise fundamental knowledge and skills in mathematics and the sciences underpinning engineering;

sound skills and appropriate understanding of disciplines relevant to mechatronics engineering and its practice;

suitable design skills, appropriate creativity, intellectual discipline and professional skills relevant to working with others;

ability to communicate your ideas in a way appropriate to your profession and also in a general way appropriate to communication with the wider community and;

that you can learn in a self-directed way that would support professional extension in your working life and adapt to technological and social change.The program as a whole has a real world focus with a problem/project based active learning approach.

The first two years of the program have a high degree of commonality with the Automotive and Mechanical Engineering programs offered by the School of Engineering.

In these years you will be exposed to the fundamentals of engineering sciences, mathematics, engineering design and other aspects of engineering professional practice.

In the final years of the program you will delve into courses with a manufacturing and mechatronics engineering focus.You will undertake a capstone experience in the final year courses OENG1167 Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B, in which you will conduct a research project that can be analytical, experimental, design or computational in nature (or some combination).This program is primarily delivered in face-to-face mode at the City and Bundoora Campuses.
