Course Information

Position yourself at the forefront of technology, where mechanical and electrical engineering, and computer science combine. 

In this degree you will explore the physics-based modeling and simulation of electromechanical systems, learn how to analyse, design and implement electromechanical systems using cutting-edge software platforms and collaborative digital environments. Graduate career-ready by completing the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program and gain at least 450 hours of skills and competencies through a range of engagement activities such as placements, internships, guest lectures, industry panels, site visits, networking and events.

We’re one of Australia’s leading universities for Engineering research.1 Our leading researchers will be your teachers and everything you learn will be supported by the expertise and experience gained through our research excellence.

In your first year you will develop a strong general foundation in engineering, including computer programming, applied mathematics and physics. As you advance in your studies you will learn about analog electronics, digital electronics, mechanics, electromechanical system design, computer programming, computer networking, embedded systems, signal processing, control, industrial actuation and automation, mobile robotics, machine learning and vision, project management and systems engineering. Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.

At least half of the honours year involves a major project. Armed with new knowledge and skills, using state-of-the-art design tools, and mentored by engineering academic staff, our honours students develop innovative products to advance technology.
