<p>This unit provides the technical background and practice of mechatronics including sensing, actuation and integration technologies for engineering environments. The unit provides a general understanding of automation technology in industry based applications and provides the skills in designing intelligent mechatronics systems incorporating artificial intelligence. Through this unit, students will appraise their understanding of the applications and importance of mechatronics system in engineering applications. Students will be able to interpret, analyse and exemplify different areas of mechatronics system design. Integrating this unit with the knowledge and understanding obtained in previous unitss, students will be able to contextualise, develop and analyse mechatonics systems for engineering processes.</p>

FedTASK
FedTASK
<p>Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FedTASKs (<strong>T</strong>ransferable <strong>A</strong>ttributes <strong>S</strong>kills and <strong>K</strong>nowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key, transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and co-operative learning opportunities.</p>
