Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering Beng (Hon)

<strong>Study the core of mechatronics and robotics - from intelligent system design to control and embedded systems. Turn concepts into creations using 3D CAD, 3D printing, laser cutting and the iForge makerspace.</strong><br/><br/><strong>Bring robots and intelligent machines to life with a degree that combines mechanics, electronics, computing and control.</strong><br/><br/>Informed by world-leading research and designed with industry partners, this course equips you with the skills, creativity and hands-on experience to become a highly employable engineer. You’ll work with industry standard equipment and explore real applications in robotics, industrial control and advanced manufacturing.<br/><br/>In Year 1, you will build a solid foundation in mathematics, computing, electronics and system modelling, while gaining teamwork and project skills.<br/><br/>Year 2 expands into robot principles, mechanics and machine vision alongside control, communications and embedded systems. Apply your knowledge in practical design projects, learning programming and system integration.<br/><br/>In Year 3, you will undertake an advanced project and specialise in one of two specialisations that matches your ambitions:<br/><br/>Mechatronics & Robotics – eg robot design, motion planning, sensor fusion, machine learning.<br/>Control – eg digital signal processing, control systems design, machine learning and optimisation.<br/>Graduates of this course are highly sought after in sectors such as robotics, aerospace, automotive, energy and advanced manufacturing.<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><br/><br/><strong>Why study this course?</strong><br/>• Study with the experts: Our academic staff have direct research experience in the robotics industry and specialise in programming, intelligent systems and cybersecurity.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Learn to use industry standard tech: Thanks to our industry standard facilities including 3D CAD tools, 3D printers and advanced manufacturing technologies.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Get noticed by future employers: Study modules designed with our industry partners – spanning topics such as robotics and artificial intelligence, industrial control and advanced manufacturing.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Take your ideas from paper to reality: Work collaboratively with other student engineers to create the most effective robotics with autonomous technology.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Go on to great things: 90% of graduates from our course are in work or further education 15 months after finishing. Sheffield-trained engineers are now working for companies including Rolls-Royce, Siemens and Airbus.<br/><br/>
