Stream Outline
The Mechatronic Engineering stream provides the student with the ability to acquire a hybrid range of skills based on mechanics, electronics and computing. Whilst there is a comprehensive coverage of mechanical engineering and design areas, the stream enables a deeper understanding of the principles supporting the conception, design, construction, maintenance, integration and repair of intelligent machines. Typical examples of these machines are robots, white goods, cameras, automated test equipment and transport vehicles.
Typical fields which may be encompassed by the program include building services, computer controlled plant, manufacturing, robotics and autonomous vehicles. An emphasis is placed on the application of engineering science, development and management in these fields.
This page outlines the core program rules for the BE Mechatronics Engineering degree when taken as part of a single or dual award. The requirements will total 168 units of credit, in addition to any other requirements outlined on the main program page.

Year 1
Students who enrolled before 2012 should follow the plan at MTRNA13710
Recommended plans of student may be found on the School's website
Recommended plans of student may be found on the School's website
Choose ONE of:
- MATH1131 Mathematics 1A (6 UOC)
- MATH1141 Higher Mathematics 1A (6 UOC)
And ONE of:
- MATH1231 Mathematics 1B (6 UOC)
- MATH1241 Higher Mathematics 1B (6 UOC)
And ONE of:
- PHYS1121 Physics 1A (6 UOC)
- PHYS1131 Higher Physics 1A (6 UOC)
Plus these following 2 courses:
- ENGG1000 Engineering Design (6 UOC)
- MMAN1300 Engineering Mechanics (6 UOC)
And ONE of:
- COMP1911 Computing 1A (6 UOC)
- COMP1917 Computing 1 (6 UOC)
Plus choose 2 electives from the Year 1 Elective List
- COMP1917 is the preferred computing course for the MTRN Stream.
- CVEN1300 is considered equivalent to MMAN1300
- Not all courses are offered in both semesters but students should complete 24 UOC in each semester.
The following courses must be taken to complete the Stream:
- ELEC1112 Electrical circuits (6 UOC)
- MMAN1130 Design and Manufacturing (6 UOC)
- MTRN2500 Computing for Mechatronic Engineers (6 UOC)
- MMAN3000 Prof. Eng. and Comm. (6 UOC)
- MMAN3200 Linear Systems and Control (6 UOC)
- MTRN3020 Model & Cont of Mechatr Sys (6 UOC)
- MTRN3100 Robot Design (6 UOC)
- MTRN3500 Comp Appl in Mechatonic Sys (6 UOC)
- MMAN4010 Thesis A (6 UOC)
- MMAN4020 Thesis B (6 UOC)
- MTRN4010 Advanced Autonomous Systems (6 UOC)
- MTRN4230 Robotics (6 UOC)
- MANF4610 Process Modelling and Simulation (6 UOC)
Plus
- 60 days Industrial Training
Thesis Arrangements
- MMAN4010 and MMAN4020 must be undertaken in two consecutive semesters which are the final two semesters of candidature.
- A student must not be enrolled in more than 24 units of credit in any semester involving MMAN4010 and MMAN4020.
- A single thesis project is commenced in MMAN4010 and completed in MMAN4020. MMAN4020 carries the mark for the thesis project.
- MMAN4010 is graded satisfactory (SY)/failure (FL). If a student receives a failure (FL) in MMAN4010, a student cannot proceed with MMAN4020.
- If the project is abandoned during MMAN4020, or if MMAN4020 is failed, a completely new topic must be chosen and the student must enrol again in both MMAN4010 and MMAN4020. (For BE/MBiomedE students, read BIOM5001 instead of MMAN4010 and BIOM5003 instead of MMAN4020).
