Overview

  • Take your mechatronics engineering knowledge to the next level by exploring exciting topics like control system design, machine vision, and data processing.  
  • Gain hands-on experience with motors, gearing, and simulation and modelling while studying state space design, filtering techniques, and digital control principles. 
  • Dive into the world of robotic engineering and learn how different components can be brought together to create seamless mechatronic systems like mobile AI robotic platforms to robotic additive manufacturing assembly or processing systems. 
  • Discover the intricacies of computer vision and image processing with this masters in engineering. Learn about the advanced applications of facial recognition technology and how to use a range of software including OpenCV, AR and VR technology, chemical sensors, and penetrative radars. 
  • From modelling controlling drones to navigating underwater robots, to programming the Boston Robotics dog, you'll master obstacle avoidance, path planning, and the language of robot communication.  
  • This degree also delves into artificial intelligence engineering and the topic of machine learning.  
  • If you’re looking for an online engineering degree, you’re in the right place. There are some elements of this qualification that need to be completed in person (see more information on residential schools below) however, this engineering masters can largely be completed online.  

Further study

Graduates from the Master of Engineering Practice are eligible to be considered for higher research degrees such as the Master of Research or PhD studies.

Professional accreditation

The program is accredited by and graduates are eligible for Graduate membership at the Professional Engineer level.

Career outcomes

When you graduate with a Master of Engineering Practice (Mechatronics and Robotic Engineering) you will be prepared to make a difference in the world of medical technology, transportation systems, mining resource extraction, power generation and distribution, renewable energy systems, electric vehicle and even spacecraft and satellites. Specific jobs, as defined by the Engineers Australia Mechatronics Field of Practice, may includer robotics engineers, robotics design engineer, research mechatronic engineer or automation engineer.
