Modules
This course has been designed with the aid of industrialists to address the needs of industry and research. The course provides a broadly based qualification in mechatronics engineering, integrating the principal aspects of electronic, mechanical and computing. Modern technology involves an increasingly complex and challenging range of research, development and design skills applied in a variety of industries as diverse as automotive, aerospace automation, medical instrumentation, domestic and leisure products. Graduates aspiring to a professional career in such industries find it more useful to have a multi-disciplinary knowledge base, rather than the traditional single discipline one. This MEng course is designed for those wanting to become chartered engineers.
