The BE(Hons)BSc equips you with core scientific research knowledge and engineering expertise to drive innovation in today's technology-driven world. Choose from nine engineering disciplines and numerous science majors to customize your academic path. Combining complementary fields can enhance your career prospects - for instance, merging Mechatronics with Exercise Sciences or Chemistry prepares you for the growing smart technology sector, while environmental studies paired with engineering fosters sustainable solutions. In an era where industries worldwide need professionals to push technological boundaries, this dual qualification positions you to meet societal challenges. Your combined engineering and science expertise will prove invaluable in tackling critical global issues, opening doors to diverse career paths. The Engineering New Zealand-accredited BE(Hons) component additionally qualifies you for international opportunities.
Mechatronics integrates Mechanical, Electronics, Computer, and Software Engineering, producing versatile engineers capable of working across multiple sectors. This field focuses on creating cost-effective, high-performance systems through sensor/actuator selection, control algorithm development, and advanced material applications. Mechatronics engineers contribute to automotive safety systems (like ABS brakes), medical innovations (including robotic surgery devices), and consumer electronics components. Our department offers this specialization while collaborating with renowned University research initiatives such as the Centre for Advanced Composite Materials, the Innovative Manufacturing Programme, and the Industry 4.0 Smart Manufacturing Laboratory.
