Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Honours)

Robots can’t replace you if you’re building them.

Develop complex technical skills to help solve the world’s greatest challenges.

Complete these two degrees in just five years.

What is electrical and electronic engineering? Electrical and electronic engineers design and build systems and machines. These systems automate, control, generate, measure, and use electrical energy essential to modern life.

What is mechatronics? Mechatronics engineering involves the synergy of electrical, computer and mechanical technologies. Study technical design, automation, and operational performance of electromechanical systems. Mechatronics engineers work in industries such as defence, advanced manufacturing, mining and health.
