COURSE DESCRIPTION
The integration of technologies in engineering applications is upon us, and it is here to stay. This makes it almost mandatory for everyone in the engineering world to keep abreast with relevant technology. Be ready for this change with our 52872WA – Advanced Diploma of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering.
Program Details
This program aims to impart the necessary remote engineering, mechatronics, and robotics skills, and all the theory covered is tied to a practical outcome. Four threads run through the program to give you maximum, functional coverage in the field. These threads comprise electrical/electronic systems, mechanical systems, computers, and control systems.
Graduates will have the knowledge and skills to contribute to the capacity of robotics and mechatronics engineering and related industries to maintain their competitiveness in a global marketplace through the application of the latest technologies, value adding to existing products, process and services and the development of new, sustainable and innovative solutions.
Program Structure
The program is composed of 10 modules and 7 units of competency that cover a range of aspects to provide you with maximum practical coverage in the field of remote engineering, mechatronics, and robotics.
Time Commitment & Duration
You are expected to spend approximately 10-15 hours per week learning the program material and completing assessments. This includes attending weekly webinars that run for about 90 minutes to facilitate class discussion and allow you to ask questions. This program is run online on a part-time basis and has been designed to fit around full-time work. It will take 18 months to complete.
We understand that sometimes work commitments and personal circumstances can get in the way of your studies, so if at any point you feel that you are struggling with the pace of the course or finding a particular module challenging, you are encouraged to contact your designated learning support officer for assistance.
Potential Job Outcomes
Graduates of this program may find roles as:
- Robotics technician
- Automation technician
- Mechatronics technician
- Manufacturing automation technician
- Control system design/troubleshooting technician
- Process control technician
- Electronics design technician
- Instrumentation technician
The maximum amount of credit we can approve as a combination of articulated credit (EIT Advanced Diploma) and RPL is 50% for both bachelor’s and master’s courses. The maximum amount of credit provided with only external qualifications and experience is 33%.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) delivers industry driven programs to equip its students with the skills required in the real industrial world. Its study options are available across Perth and Melbourne; and include classroom sessions, practical lab exercises, assessments, class discussions and self-study. Additionally, students enjoy access to industry experts based around the globe through live and interactive online presentations. All EIT programs provide access to remote laboratories and cutting-edge simulation software. Hands-on laboratory practicals are an essential component of EIT’s programs to ensure students put theory into practice. These hands-on workshops cover the major discipline-specific applied skills required for competency in engineering practice.
