COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology with a focus on Robotics and Mechatronic Engineering at Swinburne University equips students with a comprehensive foundation in engineering principles, programming, and applied technology, alongside specialized expertise in robotics and mechatronic systems. First-year core units provide essential skills, including programming (COS10009), culturally informed technology projects (COS10025), humanitarian engineering design (ENG10001), engineering materials (ENG10002), mechanics (ENG10003), calculus and linear algebra (MTH10012, MTH10013), and physics (PHY10001). Major units in Robotics and Mechatronic Engineering develop advanced capabilities in areas such as computer science topics (COS40004), computing technology projects (COS40005, COS40006), circuits and electronics (EEE20006), engineering inquiry and research (ENG20009, ICT40010), and systems design for mechatronics and robotics (RME40002, RME40003). Elective units provide opportunities to tailor learning to personal interests and career goals, with options including web technology (COS10026), object-oriented programming (COS20007), data management (COS20015), machine vision (EEE40017), engineering design projects (ENG20010), advanced mathematics and statistics (MTH20017), and robotic control and automation (RME30002, RME30003). This degree ensures students gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on project experience, preparing them for diverse roles in robotics, automation, software development, and mechatronic engineering across industrial, manufacturing, and technological sectors.
