机电一体化工程是一个多学科计划，其中将机械和电气/电子工程知识结合起来，以开发智能机器以及先进的制造和处理系统。在开发任何工程程序都具有的典型的强大分析和解决问题能力的同时，该特定程序专门针对澳大利亚的资源型和服务型行业量身定制。该课程以数学，力学，电气工程和计算机领域的典型工程科学基础开始，然后涵盖了主要的工程主题，包括数字电子和微处理器系统，高级材料和制造以及机械设计。
Mechatronics engineering is a multidisciplinary program, where knowledge of mechanical and electrical/electronic engineering are combined towards the development of intelligent machines and advanced manufacturing and processing systems. Whilst developing the strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities typical of any engineering program, this particular program is specifically tailored to Australia's resource-based and service industries. The course starts with a typical engineering science foundation in mathematics, mechanics, electrical engineering and computing, and then proceeds to cover major engineering topics, including digital electronics and microprocessor systems, advanced materials and manufacturing, and mechanical design.<br>Mechatronics engineering gives a broader engineering coverage compared with standard mechanical or electrical engineering programs with the themes of automation, instrumentation, digital electronics, manufacturing, mechanical design, fluid mechanics and control systems.<br>The program focuses on the development of knowledge and skills relevant to professional engineering practice and along with a sound theoretical base, includes strong elements of practical problem solving, team work and project development. As a result, as well as having multiple technical and transferable skill competencies, graduates will gain strong analytical skills, and have the ability to lead complex projects.<br><br>Course learning outcomes<br>Demonstrate advanced knowledge of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and in depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the mechatronics discipline.<br>Think critically, and apply established engineering methods and research skills to complex mechatronics problem solving.<br>Apply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes to conduct and manage engineering projects, with some intellectual independence.<br>Demonstrate conceptual understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and computer and information sciences which underpin the mechatronics discipline and fluently apply engineering techniques, tools and resources.<br>Demonstrate clear and coherent oral and written communication in professional and lay domains.<br>Demonstrate a global outlook and knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline, including respect for cultural diversity and indigenous cultural competence.<br>Demonstrate effective team membership and team leadership to implement engineering projects according to relevant standards of ethical conduct, sustainable practice and professional accountability.<br>Demonstrate responsibility for own learning, professional judgement and an understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice.
