Program Overview

Introduction to Mechatronics Engineering

Mechatronics Engineering combines sensors, software, electronics, and mechanical motors to create innovative new devices. Almost every system you see and use daily, smartphones, cars, air conditioning units, use a mechatronics system to operate and solve tasks on their own.

What Will My Study Involve?

• Project-based programme, with hands-on skills development and robotics laboratories throughout the degree.
• Final-year project work includes real-world research with UC's industry partners, including commercial and industrial design.
• Participate in mechatronics research work through summer internships.

Courses

First Year

The first year of the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours is made up of six compulsory courses taken by all Engineering students, plus courses specific to Mechatronics Engineering:

• ENGR102 Engineering Mechanics You also need to complete two other 100-level elective courses.

2nd–4th Years

Once you have completed the first year and successfully applied for entry into Mechatronics Engineering, you will study that discipline within the next three years.

• At UC, special emphasis is placed on project-based learning that integrates mechanical, electronic, and computer engineering skills in each year.
• In the final year, all students complete a design and research project, which typically are real-life engineering projects offered by industry partners.
