About

Overview

Are you ready for an exciting career that lets you design, build and implement smart mechatronic systems which can be deployed within a wide range of engineering companies?

In the Bachelor of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours) degree, you will learn about mechatronics, robotics, advanced materials, automated systems and the simulation and modelling of manufacturing processes.

As automation replaces people in various industry sectors, engineers with experience in robotics and mechatronics will be sought after. This degree will prepare you to work in a wide range of industries and as an RMIT graduate, you'll demonstrate skills across mathematics, engineering, mechatronics, design and creativity. You'll also be able to communicate your ideas to others and continue to learn as a professional engineer.

Your studies will include areas such as electrical and electronic system design, machine intelligence and robotics, computer programming and advanced materials. The emphasis is placed on the need to view a manufacturing system as being made up of people, machines and information.

You'll have the opportunity to design creative solutions with inspiring and sustainable design and build projects. You'll also take part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.

A feature of this degree is the access you'll have to state-of-the-art facilities, such as the Advanced Manufacturing Precinct which combines RMIT's expertise in technology and design innovation.

To ensure you graduate job-ready, you'll also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective.

Why study advanced manufacturing and mechatronics at RMIT?

RMIT University is ranked in the top 150 universities in the world for engineering (mechanical, aeronautical and manufacturing). Get involved in high-tech manufacturing processes and the manufacturing of high-tech products. Studying advanced manufacturing and mechatronics at RMIT offers the following benefits:

Prepare yourself for employment
With the opportunity for industry placements undertaken locally or internationally, you’ll be work-ready when you graduate. There are also opportunities to tackle research projects in partnership with industry, like the Engineers Without Borders Challenge Scholarship.
Access to specialised facilities
You'll have access to state-of-the-art facilities such as the Advanced Manufacturing Precinct which combines RMIT's expertise in technology and design innovation.
Hands-on learning experiences
Through hands-on learning and workplace experience, you'll have the opportunity to work in design and development teams, as is expected in many industries.

Jaweed Kakae – Using mechatronics engineering to solve problems

VISUAL: RMIT Logo. From above we see a work bench.

AUDIO: Uplifting music

JAWEED SPEAKS: For me engineering is finding that barrier, where most people stop.

VISUAL: A robotic arm knocks over blocks. Jaweed is frustrated that his robotic arm is not working.

JAWEED SPEAKS: I want to be the one who says: "Hang on, there is more we can do".

VISUAL: Jaweed is working with two other students on the wiring of his robotic arm. The robotic arm moves the block successfully. Jaweed and his team are excited that it works.

JAWEED SPEAKS: As a Junior Engineer at Crusader Caravans I’m making the manufacturing process more efficient.

VISUAL: Jaweed and a colleague inspect the shell of a caravan in the warehouse and look at plans. Jaweed walks through the production facility which has several employees working on different caravans.

JAWEED SPEAKS: My name is Jaweed Kakae, and I’m studying mechatronics engineering at RMIT.

VISUAL: Arial shot of Crusader Caravans production facility.

TEXT ON SCREEN: Jaweed Kakae – Bachelor of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics) at RMIT University.

Guaranteed Pathway options available

Didn't get the ATAR you needed? Guaranteed Pathways lets you preference pathway packages in VTAC so you can secure your place in your goal degree and graduate with two internationally-recognised RMIT qualifications.

The knowledge and skills you will acquire throughout this degree and how they can be applied in your career are described in the learning outcomes.

Electives and course plan

Years 1 and 2

You'll learn general, analytical and problem-solving skills, gain design capabilities, undertake professional practice, and study introductory mechatronics.

All engineering students will also study an Introduction to Engineering course, incorporating the humanitarian-focused Engineers Without Borders Challenge. You'll have the opportunity to extend this aspect of your studies by completing an Engineers Without Borders elective, enabling you to experience humanitarian engineering first-hand.

Years 3 and 4

You'll deepen your knowledge in mechatronics engineering by studying automatic control, automated system design, autonomous and intelligent systems, advanced robotics, advanced manufacturing and advanced materials. You will also develop experience in the computer simulation and analysis of manufacturing systems, learn to design processes and understand the critical nature of inventory control in engineering.

Your final year project will combine and further develop the key engineering skills and knowledge for your discipline, as defined by Engineers Australia. This gives you everything you need to commence your professional career. You may have the opportunity to present your project at EnGenius, an end of year student showcase event.

You’ll also have the opportunity to complete a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective in Year 2, 3 or 4.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

You must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 or an equivalent senior secondary school qualification with a minimum average of 65% (see calculator below).

Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognised post secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.

Meeting the minimum academic requirements does not guarantee entry. Your application will still need to be assessed and accepted.

Career

Opportunities for advanced manufacturing and mechatronics engineers are as diverse as the manufacturing industry itself.

Areas of employment are broad and may include the automotive and aerospace industries, the food and beverage industry and engineering and management consultancies. As a graduate within these organisations, you may take on roles including product design engineer, process engineer, facilities manager, production manager, quality engineer and automation specialist.

Graduates have gone on to work at a range of organisations including:

ABB
Festo
Toyota
Cadbury
National Instruments
SAGE
Ford
Bosch Australia.
