Engineers qualified in mechatronics are in great demand worldwide.
The course has been designed to meet this need by raising and
broadening the capability of engineers and scientists in industry who
wish to be key players in systems integration.
The taught modules cover system design, embedded computer
systems, sensors, actuators, robotics, mechanics, system integration,
interfacing and intelligent control. You take 6 modules and
undertake a major individual project. The project allows you to
extend your knowledge by exploring more fully an area that
especially interests you.
