UoA Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering

Mechanical and Mechatronics engineers require a solid background in mathematics and physics to analyse and solve complex problems. Our programmes have strong design and project elements and encourage problem solving and teamwork. We also offer a diverse and active community for research at and above postgraduate level, and we are proud of our strong international reputation for the quality of our research outputs. We have collaborative links with research groups within New Zealand and across the world. Our research activities broadly concern mechanics of materials and composites, manufacturing systems, mechatronics, thermodynamics, dynamics, control, acoustics and more – please explore our web site and see our staff profiles for more detailed information.
