To prepare graduates for a professional career in the electrical engineering discipline with particular emphasis on mechatronic engineering.

 

The Bachelor of Engineering requires completion of courses totalling 144 units, and comprises a common first year across all Engineering disciplines. The first two years of the program lay the foundation of mathematics, physics, computing, signal analysis, circuit analysis, electronics communications principles, and mechanical engineering practice. In the third year, students concentrate on mechatronic systems and their dynamics, as well as taking a set of common courses in electrical machines, control systems and embedded systems.

 

The program provides students with the opportunity to integrate these studies into the development of mechatronic systems in areas such as power systems, transportation systems, biomedical systems, manufacturing, automation and robotics. An integrating project course is taken in the second half of the third
year, which enables students to synthesise and apply the skills and knowledge accumulated throughout the program. Work-integrated learning is facilitated through the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program, requiring students to gain at least 450 hours (60 days FTE) of skills and competencies through a range of engagement activities such as placements, internships, guest lectures, industry panels, site visits, networking and events.
