This is one of the newer fields in engineering. A mechatronic engineer combines the principles of computer, electronics and mechanical engineering when designing, building and managing controls and imbedded systems, sensors, actuators and robotic systems. Mechatronic engineering applies to a range of practical applications such as creating intelligent machines and advanced manufacturing and processing systems. Completion of this stream as part of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) will prepare you for a career in mechatronic engineering.
