About Master of Engineering Practice (Mechatronic & Robotic Engineering)

Overview

Take your mechatronics engineering knowledge to the next level by exploring exciting topics like control system design, machine vision, and data processing.
Gain hands-on experience with motors, gearing, and simulation and modelling while studying state space design, filtering techniques, and digital control principles.
Dive into the world of robotic engineering and learn how different components can be brought together to create seamless mechatronic systems like mobile AI robotic platforms to robotic additive manufacturing assembly or processing systems.
Discover the intricacies of computer vision and image processing with this masters in engineering. Learn about the advanced applications of facial recognition technology and how to use a range of software including OpenCV, AR and VR technology, chemical sensors, and penetrative radars.
From modelling controlling drones to navigating underwater robots, to programming the Boston Robotics dog, you'll master obstacle avoidance, path planning, and the language of robot communication.
This degree also delves into artificial intelligence engineering and the topic of machine learning.
If you’re looking for an online engineering degree, you’re in the right place. There are some elements of this qualification that need to be completed in person (see more information on residential schools below) however, this engineering masters can largely be completed online.
