Mechatronic Engineering BEng(Hons)

  Institution: The University of Nottingham

Field Of Study:
Engineering
Level Of Study:
Undergraduate
Course Subject:
Mechatronics
Course Intake:
September

Programme Description

Mechatronic engineers explore and utilise new technologies in automation and robotics to allow tasks in hazardous environments or precise positioning to be accomplished for the benefits of health, safety, society and economy. There has been a growing interest and demand in industry for professional mechatronic engineers in recent years, and the principal aim of the programme is to equip you to work at a professional level in related industries.

You will develop practical knowledge and skills to examine and programme basic mechatronic integrated systems with practical experiments in instrumentation, and measurement and control of hydraulic, pneumatic and electric systems. You will also be introduced to practical concepts in robotics.

Career Opportunities

Electrical and electronic engineering continue to be buoyant industries. Many of our graduates pursue engineering careers in a range of industries, such as electrical and electronic design, manufacturing, power plants, devices and systems design and development, electrical and electronic equipment and systems design and fabrication, and transmission. Others enter the management and commerce sector, or software and IT. Some also choose to continue their studies with further education.

A degree from Nottingham has a high reputation within the electrical and electronic engineering industry, and industry and finance generally, opening up a world of opportunity and prospects. In recent years the majority of our graduates have quickly found career employment with over 97 per cent of our graduates starting work or registering for further study, within three months of graduation.
