There is clear
synergy between the Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and
Mechatronics) and Bachelor of Science (Computer Science &
Software Engineering) courses which, when combined, results in a
homogeneous and focused course. Graduates will possess a
combination of skills that will allow them to make a valuable
contribution to society.
Today's society
is dependent on complex computer-based systems. From online,
multimedia electronic commerce to air-traffic control, from
enterprise-wide systems in manufacturing to interactive games,
the computer has invaded all of our lives. Complex computer
systems are built by teams of professionals who have the
technical expertise, project know-how and communication skills
that are best achieved by studying computer science and software
engineering in-depth.
Mechatronics
combines mechanical, electrical, electronic and software
engineering in the design, development and control of diverse
systems used in a range of industries including manufacturing,
medicine and the service industries. Examples of mechatronic
systems include aircraft, whitegoods, automobiles, automated
plant and robots. Robots are computer controlled mechatronics
devices, which have been used to assist humans in various tasks.
While the majority of robots have been used in manufacturing a
recent trend has seen robots used in a variety of applications
including space and underwater exploration, medicine and a wide
range of service industries. The discipline of robotics embraces
the design and operation of these devices and their integration
with other systems in the work environment.
Graduates of
this course will have extensive skills in integrating
engineering with software development, particularly relating to
multi-disciplinary projects, and will have developed experience
in working on team projects. They will also have well-developed
oral, written and graphical communication skills.
Students can complete the entire degree programme in Sarawak campus. Students will be able to transfer to Swinburne University of Technology, where the course is offered. Acceptance is subjected to academic merit and approval by the respective Faculty.
Note: * The first 1.5 years of the recommended study sequence are common between the single Bachelor of Engineering
and the double degree. This allows students with a suitable level of achievements to make a transition to the double degree.
* In addition to the above sequence, the successful completion
of HED400 Professional Experience in Engineering is required for
the award of the above degree and can be taken at any stage of
the course.
* Students have the option to do Industry-Based Learning (IBL) for six to 12 months in Year 3 Semester 2. A fee
will apply for this option. IBL can be used to fulfil the requirements of HED400.
Malaysian students are required by the Ministry
of Higher Education to successfully complete the Compulsory
Subjects (Mata Pelajaran Wajib) prior to graduation.
Employment Outcomes
This course equips graduates for careers
in a wide spectrum of industries including
robotics, aerospace, chemical, defence,
automotive and manufacturing where complex
software plays a major role, as well as in
businesses that require extensive computer
support, such as banking and commerce.
