Overview
This course bridges the three, traditionally separate, disciplines of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Computing and provides the combined skills required for the design, development, construction and service of modern systems and equipment. Advanced units emphasis the integration of knowledge and skills that impact on all aspects of the design, construction and service of modern computer controlled machines. In the final year a one-semester industry project will integrate and reinforce what has been learned through application in a real world setting.
Professional Recognition
Full professional accreditation from Engineers Australia has been given for this course.
Minors
For professional recognition you will undertake an Applications minor which consists of a Work Place Integrated Learning unit, a project unit and two specialised engineering units.
Special Course Requirements
Students must obtain at least 60 days of industrial work experience in an engineering environment approved by the course coordinator.
International Student Entry
International students must maintain an enrolment program that will allow them to complete their course within the specified timeframe of their eCoE (electronic Confirmation of Enrolment).
