Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering Beng (Hon)

<strong>Learn about the fundamental concepts in mechatronic and robotic areas, including mathematics, intelligent system design, computing, control, electronics and embedded systems. Then go on to practical work that brings the concepts together using 3D CAD tools, 3D printing, laser cutters and more in the iForge makerspace.</strong><br/><br/><strong>Informed by world-leading research and designed with industry partners, this three-year course in mechatronic and robotic engineering will shape you into a highly employable engineering graduate.</strong><br/><br/>From a first year spent learning how to control robotic systems, and a second year exploring areas like programming (C++), mechanical design and intelligent systems, you’ll go on to apply your skills to a practical project. This will see you designing a system using 3D CAD tools, and building robots in our innovative iForge Makerspace.<br/><br/>In fact, all through your time here, youll use industry standard equipment, and learn about state-of-the-art applications in robotics, industrial control and advanced manufacturing.<br/><br/>In your third year youll take specialist modules that cover robotics and machine learning, amongst others – tailoring your degree with optional study areas, and getting detailed experience in the lifecycle of engineering projects through group work.<br/><br/>You’ll bring everything you have learned together to complete an advanced project. You’ll collaborate with a world-leading academic to embed technical knowledge and expertise, and advance your understanding of topics such as deep learning, machine vision and cybersecurity.<br/><br/><strong>Why study this course?</strong><br/>- <strong>Take your ideas from paper to reality</strong> - work collaboratively with other student engineers to create the most effective robotics with autonomous technology.<br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Go on to great things</strong> - 92% of students from our department go on to work or further study for companies including Rolls-Royce, Siemens and Airbus.<br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Study with the experts</strong> - our academic staff have direct research experience in the robotics industry and specialise in programming, intelligent systems and cybersecurity.<br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Learn to use industry standard tech</strong> - thanks to our industry standard facilities including 3D CAD tools, 3D printers and advanced manufacturing technologies.<br/><br/><br/>- <strong>Get noticed by future employers</strong> - study modules designed with our industry partners – spanning topics such as robotics and artificial intelligence, industrial control and advanced manufacturing.<br/><br/><br/><strong>This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institute of Measurement and Control and the Engineering Council UK.</strong>
