Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics) (Honours)/Master of Engineering (Electronics)

The Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics) (Honours)/Master of Engineering (Electronics) allows high-achieving students to take part in a double degree program combining the study of robotics and electronics in only five years. Robotics is concerned with the design, manufacturing and application of robots in a wide range of fields such as mining, manufacturing, defence and medicine. The degree combines electronics, computer control, signal processing, and programming in the design, development and operation of robots. Robots are capable of doing tasks with a level of precision, strength and endurance beyond human levels and they are an ideal substitute for workers in repetitive, hazardous and laborious jobs. As safety becomes more important to employers facing potentially hazardous situations in industry, robots and robotics technologies are in more demand than ever. Robots can fix satellites in space, perform underwater surveys, help in mining explorations, clean up nuclear waste, or operate in security situations. Robotics engineers are also in high demand in the automotive, electronic and defence sectors.Potential occupations include robotics engineer, graduate engineer, applications engineer, customer support engineer, engineering officer, electronics engineer, instrument engineer, mechatronic engineer, network engineer, patent examiner, robotics sensor integration specialist, systems engineer and technical sales executive.
