Mechatronic Engineering - Extended Major

This course list contains information for pre-2021 BE (Hons) students only. It is recommended that students go to the transition checklists for course information, as a number of courses may now be renamed, recoded or unavailable due to the program re-structure in 2021. Approved substitutions for your courses can be found in the relevant checklist . Please view the Faculty website for further information.

If you commenced the BE(Hons) in 2021 please follow the 2021 structure.

From 2012 available in the extended major only.
Pre 2012 students in the single major should refer to the 2011 program course lists.
