Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Mechatronic)

COURSE VIDEO Thinking of studying mechatronic engineering? 3:11 Mechatronics combines mechanical, electronic and software engineering to create computer controlled machines and consumer products. It is the technology that underpins robotics and autonomous systems, automated manufacturing and intelligent microprocessor-based products. This degree places strong emphasis on the development of skills in digital electronics, microprocessors, computer control, and software design in a mechanical engineering environment.Management and communications are an integral part of this course. Mechatronic engineers are involved in the application of electronics, computer systems and control theory to automate mechanical systems, as well as in the design and development of electro-mechanical systems. They are also involved in designing automated vehicle navigation systems using GPS, designing process control systems for chemical production industries, designing and implementing computer controlled machine monitoring systems, designing micromachines, project management, inventing new products and processes or acting as aid workers to provide engineering services to developing nations.
