Bachelor of Engineering (Research and Development) (Honours) - Mechatronic Systems

The Australian National University

Mechatronics is an emerging engineering discipline based on the integration of mechanical, electrical and computing technology for advanced engineering applications. Engineers with a specialisation in mechatronics are at the forefront of developments in defence, space, medical, transport, mining and manufacturing industries. Courses include System Dynamics, Control Systems, Computer Vision and Robotics. This major is aligned with research on autonomous robotic systems (aerial, terrestrial and submersible), systems theory and control and computer vision, with applications in, for example, aged care, environmental and infrastructure monitoring and automated driver assistance systems.Learning Outcomesapply systematic design-oriented engineering principles, including those aided by mathematical modelling and computer simulation, to analyse and design mechatronic systems, including robotics and control systems and subsystems.evaluate solutions to engineering problems in mechatronics and autonomous systems, by selecting and applying theoretical principles and methods from mathematics, sciences, computing, systems theory, and signal processing.
