Are you sure!? I don't think that is the case because if it is true then it's not even an engineering degree, should be called engineering science.
UNSW vs USYD vs Macquarie vs UTS Mechanical/Mechatronics Engineering!!! (1 Viewer)

As indicated, Mechatronics at Macquarie is not accredited.
The university can name the program whatever they prefer it to be called.

Based from my friends' experiences who all go to USYD, UTS, UNSW and UWS. This is how I'd order it in terms of rankings:
1. UNSW - well balanced.
2. UTS - strong emphasis on practical
3. USYD - a lot of emphasis on theory
4. UWS - you'd be lucky if you get into a decent firm.

It's challenging of course, you'll need to have a good grasp of HSC physics and HSC 3u Math (unless you're ok with doing Math for 4semesters). The lecturers told us, the reason why a few of Macq U's engineering courses aren't accredited on the Aus Engineers website is because we're the first batch of those specific engineers to come out from Macq and into the workforce. IMO I would choose the uni which provides the best future prospects for its engineers; Networking, internships etc.
UNSW or USyd only; else stay in Canberra. Maybe try ANU if possible. Mac and UWS are tier three or worse; you won't end up in a good job; this is certain. The employers do look at university and they look at your scores. Mac, UTS, USW are super easy universities to score at; I know people studying there who never turn up and still get HDs; and they're not super smart either to be doing this. The assignments and course work is easy; the lectures not so great, etc.
Also mechanical is probably the better way to go; there are more jobs for that in Australia I'd think. but it entirely depends on what you are more interested in. Go for interest at a better university and you will be happier overall.

yes they matter; for grad jobs you will need them. Some places don't ask for them but these places are not such great places to work; e.g. top tier companies will need them. But there is lots of other criteria for a job too; so the transcript is not the only thing. But it can take you places; this is for sure.
