COURSE DESCRIPTION
Curtin’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) offers you an industry-connected education experience in which you will learn how to devise engineering solutions for complex societal and industry challenges.
Your study will begin with the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY). You’ll learn the fundamental concepts and develop the required skills common to all areas of engineering – giving you the opportunity to explore our range of engineering disciplines before choosing the major that you’ll focus on from your second year.
What you’ll learn
Demonstrate a conceptual understanding of applied science, computing, and engineering.
Use underpinning science, engineering, and sustainability principles to solve complex social and industrial challenges.
Design and implement engineering solutions in a safe, ethical, legal, professional, and through respectful partnerships with local First Peoples and other diverse cultures as globally responsible citizens.
Assess the available scientific and engineering knowledge and undertake applied research in the broad engineering field.
Employ the technologies and knowledge to develop and communicate effective and innovative engineering solutions to complex problems.
Develop lifelong learning habits, teamwork and leadership abilities, and project management skills.
Gain the expertise for innovation careers that combine mechanical and electronic control systems to deliver advances in diverse industries.
Mechatronic engineers work at the interface of mechanical devices and electronic control systems. Rapid advances in automation applications – such as self-driving vehicles and industrial automation – are driving an increased need for mechatronic engineers with expertise in mechanical, electronic and computer systems engineering.
The expansion of robotics and autonomous systems also means that industries offering careers in mechatronic engineering are expanding, including transportation, agriculture, medicine and health, biotechnology, mining, energy and aerospace.
In this course you will develop sound theoretical knowledge in the key disciplines of mechanics, electronics, computer systems and control. You’ll learn how to apply this knowledge through projects in mobile robot communications and automation, pneumatic automation systems and machine control.
In your final year of study, you’ll undertake a major research or design project.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
Curtin University is Western Australia’s largest and most culturally diverse university with Australia’s third largest international student population. Around 60,000 students from more than 130 countries study a Curtin degree, at locations including Perth, Margaret River, Kalgoorlie, Sydney, Malaysia and Singapore. Our cultural diversity adds a rich and valuable dimension to the campus atmosphere, preparing all graduates to live and work effectively in an increasingly global environment. We offer a range of industry-aligned undergraduate and postgraduate courses in business, humanities, health, engineering and related sciences. We also have a long-standing focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education and culture, supported by our Centre for Aboriginal Studies.Curtin is widely recognised for its practical research that is focused on solving timely, real-world problems. In recent years our research activity has grown significantly, driving our rapid rise up the international university rankings.As a university that never settles, we will continue to develop existing partnerships and establish new ones in areas relevant to our research and teaching.
