In simple terms, mechanical and mechatronics have many common elements, but as the name suggests mechanical is more geared toward mechanical design but does have some electrical, electronics and programming content. With the completion of two additional units you will be able achieve <strong>both</strong> the Diploma of Engineering - Technical (Mechanical) <strong>and</strong> the Diploma of Engineering - Technical (Mechatronics).</p> <p>Speak to your lecturer about this dual pathway once you have finished the first semester of your studies.</p> <div class="c-accordion"> <h5 class="c-accordion-title">Gain these skills</h5> <div class="c-accordion-content"> <ul><li>Use and operate computer-aided (CAD) system to produce drawings and create 3D models</li> <li>Set up basic hydraulic circuits</li> <li>Apply technical mathematics</li> <li>Produce basic engineering design drawings</li> <li>Coordinate engineering projects</li> <li>Environmentally sustainable work practices</li> </ul></div> </div> <div class="c-accordion"> <h5 class="c-accordion-title">Is this course right for me?</h5> <div class="c-accordion-content"> <p>I have the following attributes:</p> <ul><li><span id="DeltaPlaceHolderMain">Mathematics ability</span></li> <li><span id="DeltaPlaceHolderMain">Eye for detail and accuracy</span></li> <li><span id="DeltaPlaceHolderMain">Technical and mechanical aptitude</span></li> <li>P<span id="DeltaPlaceHolderMain">roblem-solving skills</span></li> <li>Communication skills</li> </ul></div> </div> <div class="c-accordion"> <div class="c-accordion-title">UNITS</div> <div class="c-accordion-content"> <p><strong>Core Units - Common to both</strong></p> <table cellpadding="0" class="overview"><tbody><tr><th scope="col">Unit Title</th> <th scope="col">National ID</th> <th scope="col">Unit of Study</th> </tr><tr><td>Apply mathematical techniques in a manufacturing engineering or related</td> <td>MEM30012A</td> <td>W5428</td> </tr><tr><td>Interact with computing technology</td> <td>MEM16008A</td> <td>W5452</td> </tr><tr><td>Organise and communicate information</td> <td>MEM16006A</td> <td>W5451</td> </tr><tr><td>Participate in environmentally sustainable work practices</td> <td>MSAENV272B</td> <td>D3655</td> </tr><tr><td>Select common engineering materials</td> <td>MEM30007A</td> <td>AWA02</td> </tr></tbody></table><p><strong>Elective Units</strong></p> <table cellpadding="0" class="overview"><tbody><tr><th scope="col">Unit Title</th> <th scope="col">National ID</th> <th scope="col">Unit of Study</th> </tr><tr><td>Apply technical mathematics</td> <td>MEM23004A</td> <td>WE917</td> </tr><tr><td>Calculate force systems within simple beam structures</td> <td>MEM30005A</td> <td>W5444</td> </tr><tr><td>Calculate stresses in simple structures</td> <td>MEM30006A</td> <td>W5445</td> </tr><tr><td>Contribute to the design of basic mechanical systems</td> <td>MEM30009A</td> <td>W5448</td> </tr><tr><td>Coordinate engineering projects</td> <td>MEM22013A</td> <td>WE912</td> </tr><tr><td>Operate computer-aided (CAD) system to produce basic drawing elements </td> <td>MEM30031A</td> <td>WE078</td> </tr><tr><td>Perform laboratory procedures</td> <td>MEM15010B</td> <td>W5520</td> </tr><tr><td>Perform mechanical engineering design drafting</td> <td>MEM09157A</td> <td>WE901</td> </tr><tr><td>Integrate manufacturing fundamentals into an engineering task</td> <td>MEM14091A</td> <td>WE909</td> </tr><tr><td>Produce basic engineering drawings</td> <td>MEM30032A</td> <td>WE079</td> </tr><tr><td>Select electrical equipment and components for engineering applications</td> <td>MEM23111A</td> <td>WE926</td> </tr><tr><td>Set up basic hydraulic circuits</td> <td>MEM30010A</td> <td>W5262</td> </tr><tr><td>Investigate electrical and electronic controllers in engineering applications </td> <td>MEM23112A</td> <td>WE927</td> </tr><tr><td>Use computer-aided design (CAD) to create and display 3D models</td> <td>MEM30033A</td> <td>WE080</td> </tr><tr><td>Use workshop equipment and processes to complete an engineering project </td> <td>MEM30029A</td> <td>WE970</td> </tr></tbody></table></div> </div> </div></div></div>
