 If you enjoy science and are fascinated by how things work, you've got great analytical and creative problem-solving skills and strong maths, but yet you really like to do practical tasks then a mechanical or mechatronics degree is the one for you. Mechanical engineers don't just design and figure out how to build machines. They design planes, cars, robots, smart devices, digital cameras, satellite dishes, even super-yachts. Mechatronics engineers are the ones who integrate these machines with computers. You'll find these degrees open up a wide range of career possibilities you might never have thought of before. Such as using our can-do attitude and QE ingenuity to develop world-class automation, robotics and vision systems, like we do here at CanDo Innovation. Or developing designs for large-scale manufacturing like we're doing here. And we went on to design the world's most advanced plasma cutting machines here in New Zealand. These are universal degrees that will allow you to work anywhere in industry, commerce or academia. For the past three years I was acconded to BMW in Germany for the i-project and in that I was working in the department responsible for the manufacturing of carbon fibre reinforced plastics which make the majority of the structure of this car. Mechatronics is a blend of mechanical, electronic and computer systems engineering. This involves designing and controlling things like surgical robots, wearable exhaust skeletons and self-driving cars, as well as automating large-scale industrial machinery, systems and production processes. Our programs are led by a team of passionate and research active academics. Each year we welcome around 200 undergraduate students starting their specializations in mechanical engineering and mechatronics engineering. Our labs house some of the latest engineering technology such as laser scanners, 3D printers, medical robots, computer controlled manufacturing systems. And here motion capture for unmanned aerial vehicles. Plus there's our twisted flow wind tunnel and our new closed-circuit wind tunnel, which is the largest in New Zealand. These wind tunnels can be used for building, sail and vehicle aerodynamics, wind energy and elite cyclist studies. You'll have opportunities to participate in a wide range of activities outside the lecture room. One example is the Formula SAE team who design, build and race a new car each year. Last year they came third in the Australasian competition. We offer two world-class internationally respected programs that will give you a firm foundation for your future career and will give you the opportunity to tailor your final year to match your own interests and career objectives. The opportunities are endless. Don't miss out. Achieve the amazing.
