BEng (Hons) MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING

The focus of 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.

Engineering is a growth industry and currently there is a shortage of quality engineers in the UK. Our mechatronics engineering programme is unique, as there is a strong emphasis on professional life and employability skills, embedded throughout all aspects of your technical course focusing on your enhanced key skills such as communication, digital proficiency, intelligence (like emotional and social) and teamwork.
Offering a placement year as well, you will be based at the waterfront Docklands campus, a dynamic part of London within close proximity of the government and policy-making institutions and professional engineering companies. The programme is designed to meet the increasing demand (national and international) for mechatronics engineering professionals requiring technical skills in sustainable, integrated and intelligent systems for Industry 4.0. As a graduate of our mechatronics programme, you will be able design, build, operate and manage successfully the sophisticated and complex interfaces characterising existing and new systems.
