Program Overview
An ECC Diploma is your direct pathway to a bachelor’s degree
A Diploma from ECC is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree at Edith Cowan University. Upon successful completion of your Diploma, you will be able to progress directly into the second year of your chosen Bachelor’s degree at ECU. Choose to start your Diploma studies here in Perth or online from overseas.
Diploma of Science (Engineering Studies)
Diploma of Science (Engineering Studies) (Year 1) is designed to enhance your learning experience, and provide you with the underpinning knowledge necessary to prepare you for studies in Engineering related courses at university level.
The Diploma of Science (Engineering Studies) (Year 2) is specially designed for students wishing to enrol in the wide range of courses offered by ECU’s School of Engineering. ECU Engineering courses are structured heavily around practical learning; you will have the opportunity to work with real hardware, not just simulation packages. Teaching facilities include advanced laboratories with modern industry-standard equipment. Students who complete the Diploma of Science (Engineering Studies) (Year 2) at ECC will receive up to 8 units (120 credit points) advanced standing, the equivalent of the first year, in the respective bachelor’s degree at ECU. A minimum of 50% pass in all units is required for progression to ECU.
Progress to the second year of your ECU degree
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechatronics)
Mechatronics engineering is a multidisciplinary program, where knowledge of mechanical and electrical/electronic engineering are combined towards the development of intelligent machines and advanced manufacturing and processing systems.
Whilst developing the strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities typical of any engineering program, this particular program is specifically tailored to Australia's resource-based and service industries. The course starts with a typical engineering science foundation in mathematics, mechanics, electrical engineering and computing, and then proceeds to cover major engineering topics, including digital electronics and microprocessor systems, advanced materials and manufacturing, and mechanical design.
Mechatronics engineering gives a broader engineering coverage compared with standard mechanical or electrical engineering programs with the themes of automation, instrumentation, digital electronics, manufacturing, mechanical design, fluid mechanics and control systems.
The program focuses on the development of knowledge and skills relevant to professional engineering practice and along with a sound theoretical base, includes strong elements of practical problem solving, team work and project development. As a result, as well as having multiple technical and transferable skill competencies, graduates will gain strong analytical skills, and have the ability to lead complex projects.
Areas of study within the course include engineering mechanics, computer-aided design and manufacturing, analogue and digital electronics, signal analysis, electromechanical systems, industrial control, and robotics.
The first year of this course includes a set of eight units that are common across all engineering honours courses. This allows students the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the various engineering disciplines on offer and the flexibility, if desired, to switch to another engineering discipline/course without penalty after the first year of study.
