INTRA Programme BEng Mechatronic Engineering
Overview
The Mechatronics BEng degree combines Electronic, Mechanical and Software engineering covering theory and practise with an emphasis on teamwork and communication skills.
Programme Outline
In the first three years of study (i.e. prior to their INTRA work placement) Mechatronics students complete three significant team projects; one in their first year (a mechatronic project combining mechanical, electronic and software elements) and two in their third year (a mechanical design-and-build project, and an embedded-system programming/mobile robotics project). They complete modules in Design and CADD (using SolidWorks), Object-Oriented Programming, Data Analytics for Engineers (including Statistical Quality Control), Image Processing, Measurement and Signal Processing and Pneumatics and Control.
Work Areas
They have the ability to work in the following areas:
- Product/Process design
- Automated production systems
- Process control systems
- Robotics
- Embedded systems integration
- Embedded systems programming
- Quality assurance/management
- Instrumentation and calibration
- Research and development
- Test engineering
- Technical documentation
INTRA Internship
Students are required to complete a six-month INTRA placement at the end of third year, from April to September.
