This course is offered jointly by the Faculty of Engineering and the School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering, and is available to graduates with four year Bachelor of Engineering degrees, or the equivalent, in any engineering discipline, including Civil, Mining, Mechanical, Production, Industrial, Materials, etc. Graduates interested in mechatronics who have an Electrical, Computer, Telecommunications or related engineering undergraduate degree, are also able to consider the Automation and Power Engineering Program, including the specialist mechatronics subjects, within the Master of Engineering Studies.

Content and Duration
This course can be completed in one year of full-time study (48 credit points), and is 75% coursework (36 credit points), and 25% project and report (12 credit points).

Entry Requirements
The entrance requirements for this course are a four year Bachelor of Engineering degree.

Purpose of the Course
The objective of this course is to provide graduates with an ability to understand and design mechatronics systems.

Program of Study
Details of the program of study for the Master of Engineering Practice (Mechatronics) are contained in the Faculty of Engineering entry. Candidates with Electrical, Telecommunications, Computer or similar engineering backgrounds can also study mechatronics subjects via the Master of Engineering Studies by enrolling in ECTE953 Report in a mechatronics field and ECTE955 Advanced Laboratory undertaking special mechatronics projects. Five other subjects would then be selected from the Automation and Power Engineering Program and the mechatronics subject offerings from the Faculty of Engineering.
