Are you ready for an exciting career which lets you design, build and implement smart mechatronic systems which can be deployed within a wide range of engineering companies? In the Bachelor of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours) degree, you will learn about mechatronics, robotics, advanced materials, automated systems and the simulation and modelling of manufacturing processes.

As automation replaces people in various industry sectors, engineers with experience in robotics and
mechatronics will be sought after. This degree will prepare you to work in a wide range of industries and as an RMIT graduate, you’ll demonstrate skills across mathematics, engineering, mechatronics, design
and creativity. You’ll also be able to communicate your ideas to others, as well as continue to learn
as a professional engineer.

Your studies will include areas such as electrical and electronic system design, machine intelligence and
robotics, computer programming and advanced materials. The emphasis is placed on the need to view a manufacturing system as being made up of people, machines and information.

Why study advanced manufacturing and mechatronics at RMIT?
RMIT University is ranked in the top 150 universities in the world for engineering (mechanical, aeronautical and manufacturing). Get involved in high-tech manufacturing processes and the manufacturing of high-tech products. Studying advanced manufacturing and mechatronics at RMIT offers the following benefits:

Prepare yourself for employment
With the opportunity for industry placements undertaken locally or internationally, you’ll be work-ready when you graduate. There are also opportunities to tackle research projects in partnership with industry, like the Engineers Without Borders Challenge Scholarship.

Access to specialised facilities
You’ll have access to state-of-the-art facilities such as the Advanced Manufacturing Precinct which combines RMIT’s expertise in technology and design innovation. Hands-on learning experiences through hands-on learning and workplace experience, you’ll have the opportunity to work in design and development teams, as is expected in many industries.

Program
The programme allows our students to read the first two years of their degree at SLTC & graduate from RMIT University. Under this 2+2 programme with RMIT University, students who have successfully completed two years of specified undergraduate programmes at SLTC

The RMIT Advanced Manufacturing & Mechatronics Engineering transfer program at SLTC is a 2+2 undergraduate transfer program that covers a broad range of topics in the field of mechatronics.

The curriculum includes courses in Engineering Mechanics, Machine Design, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision, and Factory Automation.

In addition to the below listed modules, the Winning Edge Undergraduate Skill Development Programme of SLTC is offered to the students with the objective of producing multitalented professionals equipped with the necessary skills and competencies on the four skills of
communication:
Writing, Speaking, Reading and Listening, in English medium.

The modules are conducted in four levels:
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum based on the competency level of the students. Completion of this full programme is a mandatory graduation requirement.

A semester fee of Rs. 362,500 will have to be paid to SLTC for a period of 2 year. (Please Note that a year comprises of 2 Semesters)

Upon Transfer;
An annual fee of AUD 43,200 would have to be paid to RMIT for a period of 2 years.

Refunds – Admission Fees and Semester Fee
1.1. Students are eligible for a registration fee refund under the following circumstances, and all refunds are processed within the same year.
a) Students who enroll pending results will be entitled to a refund of the course fee if they fail to achieve the minimum requirement of 3 advanced level simple passes. Proof of A/L results will be mandatory for refund eligibility.
1.2. University semester fees are refundable only in the case of a student’s failure in the GCE Advanced Level examination. For all other situations, students are required to pay the semester fees and it is non-refundable.
1.3. If a student is selected for MOHE after the 1st semester, the university will not refund the paid amounts (admission fee & semester fee, etc.) but will allow them to continue their degree as MOHE students.

Invoicing
2.1. Invoices are generated based on the AL results of the student. All GCE Advanced Level results should be verified and confirmed by the registrar department before being sent to the finance department.
2.2. If a student registers with pending results, the fee is initially determined assuming three simple passes (SSS). After the student receives the actual results, the invoice will be adjusted accordingly. Any additional fees paid by the student at that time will be transferred to the next semester fee.
2.3. Students are required to pay semester fees within the specified due date in the invoice. (Any delays will restrict facility access after a five-day grace period)

Discount Schemes – September 2023 Intake
3.1. Students who pay the registration fee (Rs. 27,500) at an exhibition/open day or any other marketing event related to the September 2023 intake will receive a 10% discount on the September 2023 semester fee.
3.2. Applicants who pay the fees for 2 full semesters (1 year) for the September 2023 intake within the due date (+/- 5 working days) will receive a 10% discount on the entire course fee.
3.3. Applicants who pay the fees for 8 full semesters (4 years) for the September 2023 intake within the due date (+/- 5 working days) will receive a 20% discount on the entire course fee.

As a graduate of this degree, you will be highly qualified to design and implement state-of-the-art manufacturing and automation systems.

Opportunities for advanced manufacturing and mechatronics engineers are as diverse as the manufacturing industry itself.
Areas of employment are broad and may include the automotive and aerospace industries, the food and beverage industry and engineering and management consultancies.
