Program Outline

Degree Overview:

Take your mechatronics engineering knowledge to the next level by exploring exciting topics like control system design, machine vision, and data processing. Gain hands-on experience with motors, gearing, and simulation and modelling while studying state space design, filtering techniques, and digital control principles. Discover the intricacies of computer vision and image processing with this masters in engineering. From modelling controlling drones to navigating underwater robots, to programming the Boston Robotics dog, you'll master obstacle avoidance, path planning, and the language of robot communication. This degree also delves into artificial intelligence engineering and the topic of machine learning. There are some elements of this qualification that need to be completed in person (see more information on residential schools below) however, this engineering masters can largely be completed online.
