Sophisticated robots that are used to defuse bombs, deactivate mines and explore shipwrecks wouldn’t exist without mechatronic engineers – engineers who bring together technologies from mechanical design, electronic systems, telecommunications and computing.
This degree will equip you with the skills you’ll require to design and construct the very robots and their computer systems that will be responsible for creating the autonomous future. You’ll learn how to apply appropriate modelling, measurement and simulation techniques, and design software tools to solve problems in a broad range of electromechanical engineering areas, such as robotics, automation, control systems and relevant manufacturing processes. You’ll develop knowledge to design, implement, test, deploy and consider the long-term maintenance of large interdisciplinary (electronic, mechanical, software) systems. And you’ll learn how to proficiently identify, select and apply mechatronics engineering theory and analysis, modelling and simulation, and measurement knowledge to address complex problems with interdisciplinary components.
