Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) (Honours) in Mechatronics and Robotics

Adelaide University

Engineers that bridge the gap between electrical and mechanical engineering are an asset to any engineering project team. A global shortage of engineers, combined with unprecedented levels of industry spend in technology, means that qualified electrical and electronic engineers have never been more in demand (Engineers Australia, 2023opens in a new tab). Through our Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) (Honours) majoring in Mechatronics and Robotics you’ll learn how to design, develop and operate advanced, complex electro-mechanical systems in a wide range of existing and emerging industries. This degree will equip you with a strong foundation in electrical and electronic engineering knowledge and skills, with particular focus on their application in mechatronics and robotics. Core courses will cover advanced practical skills and knowledge, teaching you how to safely work with a variety of electrical circuits, digital systems, control systems, electrical machines, and power systems. You’ll also take specialised mechatronics and robotics-focused courses. Strongly hands-on, you’ll hone your creativity and engineering skillset through design projects, practical workshops, and up to 12 weeks of professional work placements in industry. In your final year, you’ll undertake a major honours research project, with industry representatives acting as your clients. You’ll graduate prepared for a wide range of specialist engineering careers focused on designing, operating and maintaining electro-mechanical systems.
