Bachelor (Honours)
This course will equip graduates with the skills necessary to plan, design and manage complex systems that integrate mechanical, electronic and computational elements of engineering. Graduates find careers in these separate fields and also at the interface, where these areas of engineering merge. Due to their cross-disciplinary knowledge and versatility as problem solvers, mechatronics professionals are also highly sought after as project engineers. Project-based learning in real world situations ensures you will be work-ready. Major manufacturers and engineering-based companies are collaborating with the University's academic expertise in this comprehensive industry-supported course. The program's strong industry support ensures its graduates will have relevant, current experience.
You will undertake a 12 week industry placement of your choice before completing your study.We are proud to offer an Industry Placement Program, providing the opportunity for our students to gain valuable and relevant workplace experience. Students take part in a two-year professional development program and receive up to 26 weeks placement and up to $15,000 industry scholarship. Discover more at www.federation.edu.au/ipp
As a mechatronics engineer you will apply mechanical, electronics and software design to create products and processes to meet market needs. Engineering knowledge and skills are required in sectors such as manufacturing and process automation, transportation (automotive, rails, aviation and navy), power production, mining and resources, agriculture and forestry. A small sample of the many job areas include: robotics and process automation, data communication and networks, smart infrastructure, security systems, processing and packaging, scientific equipment design, self-diagnostic machinery, plant design and management.
