Overview

Get the latest learning in robotics technologies, preparing you to become a key player in developing the robots that will populate our future. The degree combines electronics, computer control, signal processing and programming in the design, development and application of robots, and their integration with other systems in the work environment. This degree is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of professional engineer and is recognised internationally under the Washington Accord.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics) (Honours) has been designed to provide a strong understanding of both the theoretical and the practical aspects of engineering, particularly those relevant to the systematic development of robotics engineering systems and an awareness of social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of (robotic) engineering. This degree includes structured engineering work experience and the ability to undertake a substantial research-oriented project.

The degree provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.

On completion of this degree students will be able to proficiently use professional skills and knowledge in the systematic development of complex robotics systems and demonstrate a broad understanding of the robotics engineering discipline and a deeper understanding of some areas of robotics engineering. Students will be able to develop engineering solutions appropriate to the social, political, economic and environmental contexts in which they are applied and apply skills adopted through the thesis and advanced discipline topics to postgraduate level research or advanced industrial investigation.

This degree prepares graduates for a career as a professional engineer. Potential occupations may robotics engineer and mechatronics specialist; potential employers may include automotive, electronic and defence sectors.

Expand your career options by combining this degree with the Bachelor of Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) (SATAC code 244221).

Combining degrees enables students to follow their interests and aspirations and enhance their career prospects by undertaking a second area of study in addition to their primary degree. Completing an approved combined degree option will normally add at least one extra year (full-time equivalent) to their studies. For example, students combining two three-year full-time equivalent degrees are normally able to complete both degrees in four years of full-time equivalent study. Students graduate with two degrees, expanding employment opportunities. For further information visit www.flinders.edu.au/combined-degrees.
