The Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics) (Honours) course prepares students to cross the traditional boundaries between mechanical systems, machines, computer hardware and software, control and electronic design. Students can choose to focus their career in any one of these fields which may seek to meet growing employment demand for multi-skilled graduates from an industry that is pushing the limits of technology by exploiting the growing convergence of these fields. One such field of growth is robotic systems and mechatronics, encompassing automated assembly plants, smart systems and autonomous vehicles. Graduates of this course will have extensive skills relating to multi-disciplinary sectors of engineering.<br><br><br>Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:<br><br>apply coherent and advanced knowledge of the chosen major in engineering in diverse contexts and applications using critical thinking and judgment<br>apply knowledge of research principles and methods to plan and execute a piece of research with some independence, as preparation for research higher degrees<br>apply problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies to identify and provide innovative solutions to complex problems with intellectual independence<br>apply abstraction, mathematics and engineering fundamentals to the analysis, design and operation of a model, using appropriate engineering methods and tools<br>communicate proficiently in professional practice to a variety of audiences, function as an effective member or leader of a diverse team, and use the basic tools and practices of project management within project work<br>demonstrate professionalism, integrity, ethical conduct, professional accountability and an awareness of professional engineering practice in a global and sustainable context<br>reflect on and take responsibility for their own learning and self-management processes, and manage their own time and processes effectively by regularly reviewing of personal performance as a means of managing continuing professional development and lifelong learning.
