Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (Honours)/B Electrical & Electronic Engineering (Honours)

Robots can’t replace you if you’re building them. By studying the Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (Honours), you will become an engineer capable of solving the world’s greatest challenges.

Mechatronics engineering involves the synergy of electrical, computer and mechanical technologies that lead to new solutions to industrial problems. Students study a diverse range of courses like technical design, automation, and operational performance of electromechanical systems. Mechatronics engineers work in industries such as defence, advanced manufacturing, mining and health. As an engineer, you might develop companion robots to help care for our aging population. You could design drones that assist in search and rescue operations following a natural disaster. Or you could join our team of precision mechatronics researchers and work on medical solutions such as the endoscopic ‘pill robot’ for non-invasive 3D imaging and intervention. Hear from University of Newcastle students and alumni, who are delivering new engineering technology, through world class research at ResTech. All University of Newcastle engineering students complete 12 weeks of industrial experience during their degree. Through your work placement you’ll build important professional networks and put your learning into practice. The program is accredited by Engineers Australia. Graduates of this program are able to join as graduate members on completion, and as student members during studies. From the control of robots to the optimisation of modern vehicles, from the design of appliances to biomechanics, Mechatronics Engineers become involved in a diverse range of exciting modern technologies. This may also include the design, automation and operational performance of electro-mechanical systems.
