Although Mechatronic Engineers will normally be employed in the Mechatronic field, they are currently appointed as Electrical Engineers. Entry The (ADFA) is designed to provide young Officer Cadets from all three Services (Navy, Army, Air Force) with the finest tertiary education in Australia. ADFA is a College of the University of New South Wales and officers graduate with a University of New South Wales degree. ADFA offers degrees in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Aeronautical), Science, Arts, Business and Technology. Engineering students will undertake a four-year degree. But academic pursuits are just a part of being a student at ADFA. There's also the military studies, fitness training, leadership and management skills you'll develop. It is the Academy's philosophy to provide cadets with every possible resource and opportunity to help them do their best, which in turn helps the Academy and its graduates live up to the maxim "To lead. To Excel". You are paid to study at ADFA and receive a textbook allowance, free medical and dental treatment, free uniforms and Higher Education Contribution Scheme payments are met by the ADF. In addition, you are guaranteed a job as an Officer in the Australian Army when you graduate. While you are studying, you will enjoy one of the best student/teacher ratios in the country and have access to state-of-the-art technology and facilities on campus dedicated to giving you the best academic and military qualifications possible. The first academic year essentially consists of the following components: 4 weeks Year One Familiarisation Training (YOFT); 1 week Chief of the Defence Force Parade; 16 weeks Session 1 academic studies (This period includes a 2 week recess of career development and field trips which can be either academic or military in nature);

3 2 weeks mid-year examinations, followed by two weeks Single Service Training (SST) at Royal Military College, Duntroon (RMC); 14 weeks Session 2 academic studies (This period includes a 1 week study recess); 2 weeks study and end of year examinations; 3 weeks SST at respective Single Service Colleges; 1 week - Graduation; and 5 weeks end of year leave. Breaks during the year provide scope for academic field trips, military tours, excursions and adventurous training. Military training is also provided in Defence Studies, which include Current Affairs, Military History, Physical and Recreational Training. You will also take your place in Drill and Ceremonial Parades throughout the year. During 2nd and 3rd year, Single Service Training normally takes place at the beginning and end of each academic year and includes, for example, Ground Defence Training, Management and Operations theory and practice, Navigation and Single Service Drill and Ceremonial. It may also include Specialist Courses, visits to Military Units and opportunities for Service Attachments or Engineering Work Experience. As an Engineering, you will initially spend three years at the Academy completing academic and military requirements. On graduation you will attend RMC and complete 12 months military training. Towards the conclusion of your training at RMC, you will be allocated a Corps in the Regular Army. Individual Corps personnel requirements and the cadet's personal preference are considered when allocating a cadet to a particular Corps. Additionally cadets are in competition with their graduating peers for each position. You will graduate from RMC as a Lieutenant and return to the Defence Academy to complete your final year of Engineering. If you are in your final year of study - or you are already a degree qualified professional - and you are looking for a job that offers satisfaction, excitement and a challenge, and the opportunity to utilise and further develop your management and leadership skills, then you may wish to consider a career as an Officer ( Only) in the Australian Regular Army. On appointment as an Officer ( Only) in the Army, you will complete the Specialist Service Officer First Appointment Course at the Royal Military College Duntroon, ACT. This initial officer course consists of two modules, Foundation Skills and Basic Officer Skills, completed as one block of training. The Australian Regular Army has a continuing need for undergraduates studying for professional and technical vocations. This need is partly met by the Scheme, and partly by the Entry Scheme. The Scheme appoints selected tertiary students as Commissioned Officers and they are sponsored to complete their studies. In addition to the payment of a salary while studying, the Scheme provides for tuition fees, Student Contribution Charges, library and examination fees and the provision of textbooks. Note: Full-fee paying students can apply for Army Scheme and GMS entry, however sponsorship funding is limited to the equivalent of full time student contribution band rate for a Commonwealth Supported Place (HECS) only. The remainder of the cost of a full-fee degree is the members responsibility. If you have further questions about the sponsorship or about life as an Engineering Officer in the ADF, get in touch with a member from the Specialist Engineering team via engineers@dfr.com.au (Reserve) If you are in your final year of study - or you are already a degree qualified professional - and you are looking for a job that offers satisfaction, excitement and a challenge, then you may wish to consider a career as a Specialist Service Officer ( Only) in the Australian Army Reserve. The Army Reserve will also provide you with the opportunity to utilise and

ARES personnel may undertake the two modules separately; however, trainees will not be deemed competent for employment as an SSO until completion of both modules. The SSO FAC is conducted at RMC and the Majura Training Area. During the ARES course, trainees will be required to work every day of each module; however, there is one scheduled day off in Module One. During RMC (Military Training) members may be required to pay a contribution towards meals, accommodation and utilities. Physical Fitness Levels All trainees attending training at RMC are required to participate in an Initial Fitness Assessment (IFA) on arrival at RMC. Ares SSOs must complete the IFA for both modules. This is an entry level requirement for all courses conducted at RMC. The IFA is based on a shuttle run, push ups and sit ups and is designed to determine whether trainees are at the minimum required standard to complete training at RMC. Due to the unique nature of training at RMC, trainees who do not demonstrate the base line levels of the assessment may be withdrawn from training and RTU. If you do not pass the IFA, you will be medically reviewed by the RMC Medical Officer and you will be advised if you are able to continue with training.
