Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechanical and Mechatronic - Pathway to Master of Engineering in Engineering Management University of South Australia - Mawson Lakes Campus, Australia

This fast-tracked program of study offers an accelerated pathway to a master level qualification that provides you with an advanced level of knowledge in the specialised field of engineering management.

Mechanical and mechatronic engineering is a diverse field that can be applied across numerous industries – from robotics and automation, to manufacturing, automotive and energy. We recognise that diversity, offering a degree that delivers the integration of mechanical engineering with computing, control, automation and actuation.

As an engineering student you will have access to industry standard facilities, with UniSA ranked No. 1 in SA for engineering facilities1. Facilities include the Mechatronics Lab, Experience One Studio and Experiential Learning Suite.

By combining your undergraduate studies in mechanical and mechatronic engineering with a Master of Engineering (Engineering Management) you will further develop your skills to include managing the operations of an engineering organisation.

What you'll learn

Your undergraduate degree has a strong focus on real solutions for real-world engineering problems. You will learn to engineer solutions to everyday challenges, discovering the latest in robotics, industrial actuation and automation and machine vision.

You will study:

• Dynamics and mechanics of machines
• Thermodynamics and energy engineering
• Mechanical system design and digital prototyping
• Control systems and industrial actuation
• Machine learning and autonomous robotics

A significant portion of your honours year will then involve a major project, where you will take the lead as an engineer in a project environment, working with industry, a government organisation, or an academic research area. You will also have internship opportunities in the final year of your undergraduate degree.

Progressing through to your postgraduate studies you will learn about the strategic management of engineering operations as they relate to managing an engineering organisation. You can study topics such as:

• Robotics and automation
• Energy management
• Organisational leadership
• Enterprise resource planning
• Project planning and control
• Strategic procurement
