The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Robotics and Mechatronics key program is concerned with automation and the design and construction of intelligent mechanical systems. The course includes an intensive hands-on laboratory program and provides the skills necessary for the design of smart machines of all types, such as auto cruise control, pilotless spacecraft, automated factories and medical telerobotics. You will have access to our robotic assembly system, one of the most advanced of its type and unique as a mechatronic engineering educational facility. Core and elective units for this key program may include: Circuit Theory; Power and Machines; Mobile Robotics; Mechatronic Design; Instrumentation and Measurement; and Sustainable Design: Materials Technology.

As a graduate of the Western Sydney University Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with a key program in Robotics and Mechatronics you will have professional skills and knowledge in specialisations of great demand. As a Robotic and Mechatronic Engineer, you could work on designing, developing and controlling automated machinery, designing mechanical equipment and systems, and marketing and management. You could work in manufacturing, packaging, materials handling, aerospace and mining. For example, designing manufacturing solutions, processes and equipment, developing robotic devices to solve important health issues in the areas of diagnosis of body malfunction and the improvement of body movements.
