Overview

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical and Mechatronic)

In your first year, you will develop a strong general foundation in engineering, including computer programming, applied mathematics and physics. 

As your studies progress, you will discover innovative mechanical and mechatronic areas such as robotics, industrial actuation and automation and machine vision.

UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.

At least half of the honours year involves a major project

You will take the lead as an engineer in a project environment, working with industry, a government organisation, or an academic research area.

With the focus of this degree on solutions to engineering problems, you will develop advanced theoretical understanding and practical skills in:

  • dynamics and mechanics of machines
  • thermodynamics and energy engineering
  • mechanical system design and digital prototyping
  • control systems and industrial actuation
  • machine vision and learning
  • robotics and autonomous systems

You will graduate prepared for Industry 4.0, developing skills in industry software platforms and collaborative digital environments.

students also work on the UniSA entry in the Warman Design and Build Competition, applying hands-on skills and knowledge to a complex design project. 

This is an Asia Pacific-wide competition open to students in mechanical engineering who are in their first or second year of study.

An internship in your final year will see you tackle engineering challenges for industry clients, where you will complete a research and development project.

 

Real-world connections

UniSA collaborates with over 2,500 companies worldwide to ensure degrees remain relevant and connected to the industry.

As part of all engineering degrees, UniSA students participate in UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program.

The UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to gain hands-on experience and create industry connections. 

In industry work placements and internships enhance the employability skills of graduates.

UniSA is one of Australia’s leading universities for Engineering research. 

researchers will be your teachers, and research excellence will support everything you learn.
