Prepare to meet tomorrow's challenges in new and novel ways when you combine engineering skills with design thinking in this unique dual program. Through the Bachelor of Design, youll learn to challenge conventional thinking and bring a different mindset to problems. With a focus on solutions-based thinking, youll gain practical skills in hands-on studio-based courses and expand your career options. Complement your design studies with technical knowledge through the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), where youll benefit from hands-on experiences across all aspects of engineering, more study options for greater career opportunities, and direct contact with industry your future employers threaded throughout your degree. Youll develop technical skills through a core specialisation, which will form the basis of your career. Choose from either chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronic engineering or software engineering. Graduate with a respected honours qualification, advanced knowledge and leadership skills that will set you apart in a competitive job market and provide a pathway to future research or learning. <br><br>Mechatronic engineering is one of the newest branches of engineering, and has far-reaching applications to every sector of society. Mechatronic engineers integrate precision mechanical engineering with electronics, computer systems, and advanced controls, to design and construct products and processes. Microscale sensor and actuator technologies are developed and applied to create intelligent consumer products. Mechatronic engineers are in great demand as industries seek to apply evolutionary advances in computers, electronics, sensors, and actuators to improve their products, processes and services. Graduates have the knowledge and skills to design and build advanced products such as robots and machine tools, scientific instrumentation, and high performance automatic suspension and braking systems. Tailor your specialisation in mechatronic engineering with majors or minors that meet your interests and career goals. Mechatronic engineering offers these options: Majors Computer engineering Mining engineering Minors Computing Data science Design
