COURSE DESCRIPTION
This double degree program combines the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics) Honours course with the Bachelor of Technology (Motorsports) course.
Mechatronics engineering is the integration of electrical, electronic and computing engineering with mechanical engineering, enabling the development of intelligent machines and advanced manufacturing and processing systems. Areas of study within mechatronics include mechanics, computer-aided design and manufacturing, analogue and digital electronics, signal analysis, electro-mechanical systems, advanced materials, sensor technology, automatic control, robotics, system design and development, and project management. The course produces engineers with strong competencies in electrical, electronic, computer and mechanical engineering, who can participate in and lead complex, multidisciplinary projects.
The motorsports component further develops engineering problem-solving abilities, as well as the technical, financial and management skills associated with manufacturing industries in general, and the motorsports industry in particular. Students gain a solid understanding of the entire design, simulation and fabrication processes and management issues associated with the manufacturing industries, with particular emphasis on motorsports. Students also have the opportunity to further develop competencies through the provision of extra-curricular activities to help progression into the motorsports industry.
Course learning outcomes
Apply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes to conduct and manage engineering and motorsports projects, with some intellectual independence.
Demonstrate a global outlook and knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering and motorsports technology disciplines, including respect for cultural diversity and indigenous cultural competence.
Demonstrate advanced knowledge of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and in depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the engineering and motorsports technology disciplines.
Demonstrate clear and coherent oral and written communication in professional and lay domains.
Demonstrate conceptual understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and computer and information sciences which underpin the engineering and motorsports technology disciplines and fluently apply engineering techniques, tools and resources.
Demonstrate effective team membership and team leadership to implement engineering and motorsports technology projects according to relevant standards of ethical conduct, sustainable practice and professional accountability.
Demonstrate responsibility for own learning, professional judgement and an understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary practice in the engineering and motorsports technology domains.
Think critically, and apply established engineering methods and research skills to complex engineering and broadly defined motorsports problems.
Career Opportunities
Mechatronics engineers have diverse employment opportunities in most sectors of industry, including product design and development, manufacturing, mining and resource, process control and automation, public utilities, road and transport, defence, aerospace, and consulting. As well as employment in the motorsports industry, graduates also have broader employment opportunities in product design and development, manufacturing, marketing and project management.
Possible future job titles
Mechatronics Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Automotive Engineer, Robotics Engineer, Automation Engineer

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
Edith Cowan University (ECU) is a large, multi-campus institution serving communities in Western Australia and internationally.ECU was awarded university status in 1991, but despite its relative youth, the University has a proud history of more than a century of service to education in Western Australia and is recognised for its teaching and learning, excellence in research, and partnerships with the community.We have more than 23,300 students, including around 18,500 undergraduates and 4,800 postgraduates. Approximately 3,600 international students attend the University, originating from 104 countries.We are a progressive University with courses developed through ongoing industry input, and employing lecturers who engage fully with their students. We’re a university that knows while knowledge is important, understanding comes from experience –experience that enables you to adapt what you’ve learned to whatever opportunities come your way. Because that’s when you do more than just survive in this world. You thrive in it.
