Master of Engineering Technology (Mechatronic Engineering)
USQ’s Master of Engineering Technology (Mechatronic Engineering) is ideal for engineers or scientists who want to extend their knowledge of mechatronic engineering.
Through USQ’s Master of Engineering Technology you can decide the path of your study with the option to take a 12 unit coursework studies pathway or undertake 8 units of coursework plus a 4 unit project and research dissertation. Your coursework will develop your research methodology skills and prepare you for a variety of areas relevant to your major including: production engineering, computational mechanics in design and electronic measurement.
With USQ’s links to the world-class National Centre for Engineering in Agriculture, you will have the opportunity to contribute to leading research with your project and dissertation. NCEA research projects include a vision-based guidance system for a tractor to allow it to 'steer' itself accurately and artificially-intelligent systems to process and sort food products.
The research project and dissertation is a stepping stone to further research degrees, such as PhD.
You may also be able to graduate sooner with a Graduate Certificate in Engineering Technology after completing 4 units.
