Graduate Diploma in Engineering (Mechatronics) Mechatronics engineers are in demand as more and more products and processes are becoming smarter.

Mechatronics is the education pathway for the future. The

advancement of technology is driving towards embedded

systems, sensors and actuators. We are all becoming

accustomed to automation, electronics and sensors being

a part of our day to day lives.

With advances in technology, there is increasing demand

for smart devices. Mechatronics is the interdisciplinary

field of engineering dealing with the integration of

mechanical,

electronic, and control engineering to design and produce

intelligent products and processes.

It requires the ability to think from a mechanical and

electronic system design and integration point of view.

The study of Mechatronics enables students to work in

a wide spectrum of industries including the robotics,

aerospace, transportation, defence, automotive, building

systems and manufacturing industries.

Within these industries, students may undertake roles

such as design engineers and product designers.

Graduate Diploma in Engineering (Mechatronics)

• Design, specify, plan, organise, and implement

a mechatronic system

• Work effectively with a team of domain

specialists in the core technologies of Mechanical

Systems, Power Systems, Control Systems and

Automation Systems

• Integrate and test multi-disciplinary mechatronic

projects

• Compare, contrast and evaluate alternative approaches

to mechatronic system designs

• Effectively plan the extension and upgrading of existing

implementations

• Conduct risk management assessments including

business impact analysis.

Award winning graduate

Lachlan Clelland, Bachelor of Engineering Technology

(Mechanical) 2013 winner of the IPENZ Ray Meyer

Excellence in Student Design award studied mechanical

engineering whilst taking additional papers in

mechatronics. Lachlan’s highly successful Roebel cable

winding project won him national acclaim and was put

into production by a New Zealand company who work

with large overseas multi-nationals.

Lachlan designed and produced a machine that braids

the cable integral to superconductor technology.

Graduate Diploma in Engineering (Water & Waste Engineering) Improving and protecting water quality is a global issue.

2.5 billion people currently live in “water stressed” regions.

The path for sustainable growth requires more than just

green solutions, but also requires blue ones. Water is the

single biggest factor which can limit or enhance economic

growth. Be part of the global Blue economy and help

contribute to fixing the world’s water quality and shortage

problems.

The Graduate Diploma in Engineering (Water & Waste

Engineering) provides the theory and conceptual design

of systems for treating various surface and groundwater

sources to make drinking water, disposal of water

treatment plant wastes in an environmentally friendly

manner, treating community and industrial wastewater and

stormwater.

Physical, chemical, and biological processes in an

engineering context are presented, including aeration,

sedimentation, filtration, biological treatment,

disinfection, and waste water processing.

Emerging advanced treatment methodologies are

introduced. Engineered and natural processes for

wastewater treatment are also covered in the programme.

Graduate Diploma in Engineering (Water & Waste Engineering)

• Design, specify, plan, organise, and implement

a water and waste system

• Work effectively with a team of domain specialists in

the core technologies of Mechanical Systems, Power

Systems, Control Systems and Automation Systems

• Integrate and test multi-disciplinary water and

waste projects

• Compare, contrast and evaluate alternative

approaches to water and waste system designs

• Effectively plan the extension and upgrading

of existing implementations

• Conduct risk management assessments

including business impact analysis

The study of Water & Waste Treatment Engineering

enables graduates to work in areas related to water

quality, water treatment and waste water treatment

services. Within these services, graduates may undertake

roles such as water engineers, waste water engineers,

stormwater engineers, design engineers, project planners,

product designers or project managers.

Award winning graduate

Anthony Muir, Bachelor of Engineering Technology

(Civil: Water and Waste Major) was the 2014 IPENZ

winner. Anthony designed a water attenuation system

which manages storm water runoff and could save land

developers and construction companies hundreds of

thousands of dollars as well as substantially reducing the

environmental impact of construction.

Anthony’s project is a new, simple and cost-efficient

system that manages the peak flows from extreme rain

events. Testing has proven the system delivers better

environmental performance than competing systems,

with considerable cost savings.

Learn from world leading water treatment researcher Dr

Induka Werellagama. Dr Werellagama is a renowned lecturer

and researcher on sustainable water practice and safe water

management. He is widely published with recent research

into the use of wetlands to deal with waste water; filtration

for treatment of surface water, and removal of chemicals in

drinking water using naturally available resources. In addition

to world class research on water treatment, Dr Werellagama

has extensive industrial experience as a Chartered Water

Engineer.

Dr Werellagama served as the Team Leader of the

Commonwealth Secretariat Expert Team in Mauritius,

advising on protecting water aquifers from contamination

by farm waste. He has also advised the United Nations

Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and Asian Development

Bank (ADB) on water treatment plants and solid waste

management (protecting water sources).

In New Zealand Dr Werellagama advised the Auckland
