Mechatronic Engineering with Space stream

Overview

Mechatronic Engineering with Space stream is a dynamic, multidisciplinary field that integrates mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering, systems engineering, and computer science. It underpins the development of robotics, automation, and intelligent systems that are shaping the future of both terrestrial and space technologies.

Mechatronic with space engineers play a critical role in the design and operation of autonomous systems, robotic arms, spacecraft mechanisms, satellite subsystems, precision instrumentation, and control systems for space missions. Their expertise is essential to enabling intelligent, resilient systems that can operate in the harsh and remote environments of space.

Graduates are equipped to work across a wide range of industries, including aerospace and satellite technology, space exploration, remote robotics, smart manufacturing, biomedical systems, and automation in sectors such as agriculture, mining, defence, and astronomy.

The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Mechatronic Engineering with Space) places particular focus on space-relevant technologies—such as embedded systems, space-grade robotics, digital control, sensing and actuation, and real-time software development. Students will also build strong foundations in systems design, microprocessors, and computer control, while developing project management and communication skills essential for leading complex, multidisciplinary space engineering projects. Alternatively, you may choose to continue your studies through a graduate program at Sydney, building on the strong platform this degree provides.
