Bachelor Of Engineering Technology
- MechatronicsThe 3-year degree that leads you into mechatronics careers—at the cutting-edge of engineering
Mechatronics engineering is an exciting field that combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering and software engineering. It gives you the skills to work with the increasingly complex and technical systems that are part of the product design and advanced manufacturing industry.
With a mechatronics engineering degree, spend your career tackling interesting challenges, from assembling hydrogen fuel cells, maintaining autonomous systems and working on green and renewable energy systems..
Build an in-demand career (and a better world for all) with your mechatronics engineering skills.
Pathway to a mechatronics engineering tech degree
• Enter the 3 year Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Mechatronics) from high school.
• Successful completion of the Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology 2228VIC or Diploma of Engineering Technology 2229VIC may gain you credit transfers based on subjects you've studied.
• If you don’t already have a Diploma you can earn your Diploma at Chisholm - we offer courses from Certificates to Degrees to help you pathway to your Degree
What you'll learn
• Foundational skills in engineering, automation, engineering mathematical methods, materials science and more.
• Advanced skills in mechatronics engineering, including problem-solving, programming concepts (C), engineering system design, instrumentation principles, manufacturing systems, programmable logic controllers and workplace training.
• How to work at the professional engineering practice level expected by Engineers Australia and the Australian Government.
• Professional skills to critically analyse and evaluate concepts, ideas, processes and products required to manage complex engineering projects, such as automated systems or electromechanical systems.
• Fundamental principles of how to lead and manage teams in multidisciplinary and multicultural workplaces.
How you'll learn
• Face-to-face on campus, in smaller classes, for more one-on-one time and support from teachers.
• In state-of-the-art facilities such as the structural mechanics lab, programmable logic controller (PLC) lab, pneumatic and hydraulic lab, robotics lab, digital electronics lab, instrumentation lab and automation simulation lab.
• By solving real-world briefs on industry projects, just like in the actual workplace.
• Through ongoing feedback and more contact hours with teachers per week, compared to at university.
• With student services and student support for both domestic students and international students— get your questions answered about everything from core units to credit points or advanced standing.
Timetable
• Full-time: Three days a week on campus.
• Part-time: Flexibility to choose subjects that work around the timing of your other commitments.
Work integrated learning opportunities
• 8-week (320 hours) industry placement organised by Chisholm.
• Organisations that offer placements include REDEI Renewable Energy Solutions, Hilton Manufacturing, AUTO Pacific, Western Health, R&I Instruments and Walkinshaw Group.
• You'll also work on a 13-week capstone industry project in semester six.
• Career counselling, professional development training and job placement guidance to help you prepare for the workforce.
