Learning outcomes - Mechatronic Engineering stream

On successful completion of the Mechatronic Engineering with Space stream students will be able to:

No. Mid-level learning outcomes
1 Demonstrate mastery of established analytical methods commonly used in mechatronic engineering, underpinned by fundamental principles and extended to applications in space systems and environments.
2 Demonstrate proficiency with tools, methods, principles, and technical knowledge central to mechatronics—including embedded systems, mechatronic systems design, microcontrollers, data communication—within the context of autonomous and intelligent space systems.
3 Respond effectively to non-routine, complex mechatronic problems, including those arising from the constraints and uncertainties of the space environment.
4 Apply diverse strategies to develop and implement innovative ideas in mechatronic systems, such as robotics, automation, and control solutions for space missions and infrastructure.
5 Plan, design, and review safe, efficient, and robust mechatronic systems, services, and policies with specific attention to reliability and redundancy requirements in space applications.
6 Recognise and respond to the interdisciplinary context of mechatronic engineering, including its integration with systems engineering, and space operations.
7 Find, interpret, evaluate, and manage research to support decision-making in mechatronic engineering, with consideration for the evolving challenges in space system development.
8 Present compelling oral, written, and graphic evidence to communicate mechatronic with space engineering concepts, designs, and solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
9 Contribute as an individual and team member to multidisciplinary and multicultural teams to deliver projects involving space robotics, autonomous vehicles, and other space-relevant mechatronic systems.
10 Apply relevant values, professional standards, and engineering judgement to ensure the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of mechatronic systems for both planetary and space-based applications.
