Robotics and Automated systems is a multidisciplinary area that combines electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science. In particular, it includes embedded programming, control systems, automated decision making, and power electronics. Due to the level of technicality involved in this specialized and interdisciplinary field, there is a shortage of qualified graduates and personnel in the industry.

This postgraduate course is designed to enable construction professionals to become familiar with the latest developments in Health and Safety legislation and practice.

Automation engineering involves the design, development and implementation of sensor and robotic systems. At its core is the combination of mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering with computer technology, namely, mechatronics.

The P.Grad.Dip. in Health and Safety in Construction is an exciting one-year course designed to familiarise civil engineers and other construction professionals with Health and Safety legislation and practice. In addition, the course will provide them with the knowledge necessary to perform various supervisory and advisory health and safety roles.
