University of Newcastle
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00109J
Develop complex technical skills to help solve the world’s greatest challenges.What is mechatronics? Mechatronics engineering involves the synergy of electrical, computer and mechanical technologies. Study technical design, automation, and operational performance of electromechanical systems. Mechatronics engineers work in industries such as defence, advanced manufacturing, mining and health.What is electrical and electronic engineering? Electrical and electronic engineers design and build systems and machines. These systems automate, control, generate, measure, and use electrical energy essential to modern life.Complete these two degrees in just five years.
