About this course
MEng (Hons) in Robotics, Mechatronics and Control Engineering, a robotics engineering and electrical and electronic engineering degree exploring autonomous systems, industrial automation, and advanced mechatronic technologies. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, Engineering Design, Ethics & Professional Practice, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The curriculum satisfies the educational requirements for later professional registration as a Chartered Engineer. The first year covers core mathematical methods, linear electrical circuits, software programming in an engineering context, electronic logic, and mechanical systems through modules such as Core Mathematics, Circuit Analysis, Programming and Software Engineering, and Digital Systems. The second year introduces advanced mathematical techniques, industrial robot architectures, analogue and digital electronic circuits, dynamic systems control, and robotic manipulators via modules including Advanced Mathematics, Robotic Systems Technology, Electronics, Control System Design, and Foundations of Robotics. The third year shifts focus to advanced systems management, state space control techniques, and an individual project through modules like Engineering Systems and Management, State Control Systems, and Individual Project, alongside optional choices such as Machine Learning and AI for Engineering, Manufacturing Automation and Control, and Mechatronics and Instrumentation. The final stages offer extensive options spanning research or industry-based team projects, advanced mechatronics, robotic applications in sport and healthcare, industrial machine vision, and statistical machine learning.
