BEng Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering
About this course
BEng (Hons) Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering is a manufacturing engineering degree focused on the integration of mechanical, electronic, and intelligent control systems. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, and Control Systems. The course is available with an optional placement year. The first year covers engineering foundations through modules such as Introduction to Engineering, Applied Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Dynamics, and Embedded Systems. Year 2 advances into practical design and modelling through Electric Machines. Sensors and Actuators, Electronic Design Project, Robotics Software Development and Modelling, and Robotic Control Design Project. The final year centres on independent investigation and complex systems, featuring compulsory study in Research Methods and Individual Project, Automation and Control, Electronic and Electrical System Design Project, and Robotics and Machine Intelligence.
