MEng Mechatronic Engineering
About this course
MEng in Mechatronic Engineering, an engineering degree integrating mechanical, electronic, and computing systems for automated design and manufacturing. Core topics include Programming, Computer Architecture, Signal Processing, Control Systems, Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, Engineering Design, Communication & Writing, Critical & Analytical Thinking, and Design & Creative Practice. Students can undertake an optional placement year as part of the programme. The first year covers fundamental principles through compulsory modules such as Engineering Computational Skills, Electronic System Fundamentals, and Engineering Design, Manufacture and Test. The second year builds on these concepts with modules including Signal Analysis and Control, Engineering Design, and Manufacturing and Production Systems. Later stages feature advanced study through modules such as Dynamic Analysis and Control, Electrical Power and Drive Systems, and a Final Year Project. Optional modules allow specialisation in areas such as Advanced Static Analysis, Virtual Instrumentation, and Modern Vehicle Systems.
