If you're studying mechatronics engineering, you'll develop skills in complex technical, business and project management techniques as well as human-centred design and systems thinking.
Most of your first-year courses are shared between the majors in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and the Bachelor of Engineering Technology, making it easy for you to switch between our engineering degrees and majors.
