Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Mechatronic) (Pathway to Master of Engineering (Engineering Management))

Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Mechatronic) degree is designed to prepare graduates for a professional career in the electrical engineering discipline with a particular emphasis on mechatronic engineering.

Aim

The aim of this program is to prepare graduates for a professional career in the electrical engineering discipline with particular emphasis on mechatronic engineering.

Content and Structure

The Bachelor of Engineering requires completion of courses totaling 144 units, and comprises a common first year across all Engineering disciplines. The first two years of the program lay the foundation of mathematics, physics, computing, signal analysis, circuit analysis, electronics communications principles, and mechanical engineering practice. In the third year, students concentrate on mechatronic systems and their dynamics, as well as taking a set of common courses in electrical machines, control systems, and embedded systems.
