Course Overview

The focus of the technology-related economy is drastically shifting towards autonomous mechatronic systems, automation and robotics, controlled remotely via smart technology. The mechatronics programme combines principles from mechanics, electronics, control, automation and robotics to design, manufacture and test smart and cognitive systems and devices, which utilise a combination of these disciplines. Students on this key undergraduate programme will gain this knowledge of engineering processes and systems, product design, digital electronics and integration of these technologies. This will also enable them to create their own mechatronic systems that are smart and cognitive, developing them from imagination through to reality. The general aim is to provide a programme of study for mechatronics engineers of sufficient width and depth to meet the demands of their profession. A specific aim of the programme is to promote an active interest in engineering and to encourage students to respond to changes and developments within automation, mechanical systems, robotics and related wider engineering sector.
