Purpose of the Program

The objective of the BEng (Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours) program is to develop highly employable graduates who are capable of working effectively as Manufacturing and Mechatronics engineers, in the national and international context. It is designed to prepare you as a graduate engineer for a wide range of career possibilities by developing particular graduate attributes which will be of on-going benefit to you, industry and society as a whole. Manufacturing industry is highly diversified. As a graduate of this program, you are highly qualified for designing and implementing state-of-the-art manufacturing and automation systems. You will be able to work in a wide range of engineering industries, from global manufacturing, aerospace and automotive, to supply chain and logistics.

The Bachelor of Business (International Business) program provides you with technical and critical knowledge and skills in international business to apply in diverse global contexts. A broad-based curriculum covers international human resource management, global marketing and cross-culture management, with a focus on professional training in contemporary international business.

Over the duration of this program you will participate in a variety of learning experiences which are designed to support you in developing skills as an International Business graduate. Learning and teaching approaches for this program may include lectures and tutorials, problem-based learning, case studies, work-integrated learning, assignments, projects and examinations.

Combining both BEng and BBus skills and qualification, this program provides you with the capability to oversee development of large scale, high value added manufacturing facilities that have a global operational focus, making Australian manufacturing more competitive. As a graduate of this program you are likely to practise as an engineer at a high level.

You will undertake a capstone experience in the final year courses OENG1167 Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B, in which you will conduct a research project that can be analytical, experimental, design or computational in nature (or some combination).  

The capstone course BUSM4689 Political Economy of Global Business will provide you the opportunity to critically reflect on and consolidate your theoretical and practical learning

The program will prepare you to work as a professional in a wide range of industries, government and non-government organisations that require high-level international skills, such as trading, business, finance, manufacturing, logistics, and trade promotion sectors

This program is primarily delivered face to face at the City and Bundoora campuses. While most courses in the program are delivered on campus, others are delivered online.
