Mechatronics brings together precision mechanics, electronics, controls and computer engineering through a process of integrated design. It involves creating a wide range of technologies such as sensors, actuators, interface hardware, control systems, software, and analogue and digital electronics. The applications for these technologies affect all our lives and can be found everywhere: aircraft, cars, trains, healthcare, materials processing, advanced manufacturing systems, defence systems, consumer electronics and more. This course gives you a broad understanding of mechatronics but with more focus on the mechanical engineering aspects. Topics include engineering mathematics, mechanical science, computer-aided engineering, and the mechanics and properties of materials.

Course programme

You will learn to handle a wide range of technologies in sensors, actuators, interface hardware, control systems, analogue and digital electronics, software engineering, and concurrent design.

First Year: You will study introduction to electronic systems, materials and electrical science, introduction to manufacture technology, engineering mathematics, computer programming for electronics engineers, mechanical science, introduction to design and engineering applications of mathematics.

Second Year: You will study electrical engineering and power control, dynamics, computer-aided engineering, further engineering mathematics, data acquisition and control systems, structural mechanics, integrated engineering systems design, project management and product development.

Third Year: You have the option of taking an integrated one-year professional placement.

Final Year (3rd or 4th): You will study power systems, control systems, mechanics and properties of materials, micro-engineering and micro-technology, noise and vibration analysis, mechatronic design, and an individual major project.

Work Placement

You have the opportunity to spend a year working either in a professional research environment or within industry. The practical experience you gain will be of tremendous benefit both when you resume your studies and when you embark on a career.
