Melbourne School of Engineering Professional Master of Engineering

Master of Engineering (Mechatronics)

Mechatronics engineering blends the disciplines of mechanical, electrical and software engineering around the principles of control systems and automation. Mechatronic engineers create and work with systems that have various degrees of automation, which is increasingly a factor of everyday life with examples including robots, automobiles and CNC machines all featuring levels of computer control.

The Mechatronics Masters course at the University of Melbourne combines the in-depth technical knowledge required to work in this fast changing discipline with broader aspects of engineering like project management and intellectual property. The course features state-of-the-art facilities and is influenced by industry perspectives, and graduates are well equipped to take advantage of the wealth of job opportunities available.
