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.
Studying the MEng enables you to conduct a group project to actually develop mechatronic products.

The Foundation in Engineering is a 1+3 year programme that results in direct progression to the undergraduate degrees offered within the Faculty of Engineering. Modules on the programme aim to improve language and study skills as well as enhance understanding of mathematics and the physical sciences.
Students on this programme also chose from a range of elective modules that provide the opportunity to sample topics related to their chosen undergraduate pathway from thermal science or chemistry to electricity and magnetism.

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.
