Bachelor of Engineering - Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics (Honours)
RMIT University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00122A
You’ll 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 highly sought after. This professionally accredited degree will prepare you to work in a wide range of industries and as a 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.
