Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering RMIT University

Overview

Developments in robotics and mechatronics are reshaping the modern world, with automated and autonomous systems, smart devices and systems changing how we do things at home, on the streets, and in factories.

This Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering programme at RMIT University is designed to establish and foster students’ technical knowledge, professional skills, and hands-on experience in this field to develop and harness viable engineering solutions to various challenges in the design, implementation, and maintenance of electronic, mechanical, robotic and mechatronic components and systems, intelligent manufacturing technologies and processes.

The first year of this highly sought-after degree of modern engineering provides a chance for students to establish and develop their knowledge, skills, and passion in the fundamentals of engineering before deciding which specialisation – at RMIT in Vietnam or in Melbourne – to pursue from their second year onward.
