What will I learn?

This degree intertwines mechanical engineering, control engineering and software development, specifically for controlling sophisticated smart machines and robotics. Mechatronic engineers work across all aspects of smart machines – from design and testing through to manufacture in industries such as robotics, medical and assistive technology, human-machine interaction, manufacturing, unmanned aerial and ground vehicles and education. Through your study at UNSW Engineering, you’ll develop hybrid skills in mechanics, electronics and computing. Our students come to understand the conception, design, construction, maintenance, integration and repair of smart machines. These machines include robots, white goods, cameras, automated test equipment and transport vehicles. This bachelor’s degree will build your knowledge in areas including building services, computer-controlled plant, manufacturing, robotics and autonomous vehicles. We emphasize the application of engineering science, development and management in these fields. We’ll balance the theory and knowledge development with your hands-on application of skills learned in your degree. To get you work-ready, you'll apply these skills through 60 days of approved industrial training.
