Robotics and mechatronics engineering combines mechanical engineering, computing and electronics to create functional smart products. You will acquire skills, knowledge and experience in electrical systems; mechanics; systems engineering; sensors and artificial perception; thermo-fluids and power systems; analogue electronics; robotics; control systems; and manufacturing.

Availability
Robotics and mechatronics engineering is listed in E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Clayton and Malaysia as an undergraduate specialisation.

You must satisfy the continuous professional development or industrial training required to complete the course. See ENG0001 (for Clayton) or ENG0002 (for Malaysia).

Requirements
144 credit points

Parts C and D. Robotics and mechatronics engineering knowledge, application and professional practice108 credit points

You must complete the following core robotics and mechatronics engineering units and the units in either the artificial intelligence stream or automation stream.
NOTE: If you completed either core units ECE2071 or ECE2072 as a First Year technical elective, you must replace the core with another unit at the same level or higher from the robotics and mechatronics engineering technical electives list.

Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points

Studying the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) single degree36 credit points

Electives must be completed at the unit level required to satisfy the course requirements. You must complete a total of 36 credit points of engineering elective study. 12 credit points must be at levels 2 or 3 and 24 credit points must be at levels 3 and 4 or 5 from the engineering technical electives list below. If you have completed two electives in Year 1 in a non-engineering minor in a discipline from another faculty that is approved by the Faculty of Engineering, you may want to use the 12 credit points at level 2 to complete the non-engineering minor, or choose from the robotics and mechatronics engineering technical electives list. If you are studying the course at the Clayton campus in Australia, you are encouraged to take up the opportunity to pursue a minor in an engineering discipline that complements your engineering specialisation.
