What you’ll learn
In your first year you will develop a strong general foundation in engineering, including computer programming, applied mathematics and physics. As you advance in your studies you will learn about analog electronics, digital electronics, mechanics, electromechanical system design, computer programming, computer networking, embedded systems, signal processing, control, industrial actuation and automation, mobile robotics, machine learning and vision, project management and systems engineering. Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you’ve acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.
At least half of the honours year involves a major project. Armed with new knowledge and skills, using state-of-the-art design tools, and mentored by engineering academic staff, our honours students develop innovative products to advance technology.
Your career
To be a successful electrical and mechatronic engineer, you should be a good problem solver, show a passion for understanding science, mathematics and technologies and applying your knowledge to the betterment of the quality of lives. Careers to consider:
mechatronics engineer: selecting, commissioning, designing, maintaining electromechanical systems leveraging multidomain engineering expertise
computer/embedded system engineer: designing and implementing embedded systems performing sensing, communications, signal processing, control for various applications, ranging from consumer appliances to Industrial Internet of Things equipment; dealing with graphics processing units and field-programmable gate arrays for advanced applications
