Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Mechatronics Engineering with Foundation Year - (Placement Year) University of East London - Docklands Campus, UK

This extended course is perfect if you want a degree in mechatronics engineering but don't have the standard entry requirements.

The focus of the technology-related economy is drastically shifting towards autonomous mechatronic systems, automation and robotics, controlled remotely via smart technology. In 2019, automation and robotics/ mechatronics engineers were the second most in-demand. The demand is also expected to grow rapidly in the next 10 years.

This course provides you with analytics and scientific knowledge to design integrated electronics, controls, computers and moving parts. You'll develop problem-solving expertise by creating practical solutions to problems that are directly relevant to industrial needs.

Our course has been carefully designed by experts in the field of mechanical engineering to help prepare students for professional practice in the world of interdisciplinary technology.

You'll have access to the very latest equipment and resources to carry out this work. All of which will prepare you for a wide range of future careers.

During your course, you'll have regular contact with blue-chip companies and industry leaders in the sector, who will host visits and work placements and provide regular guest speakers to come and speak at the University of East London.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

The focus of technology related economy is drastically shifting towards autonomous mechatronic systems, automation and robotics, controlled remotely via smart technology.

The mechatronics programme combines principles from mechanics, electronics, control, automation and robotics to design, manufacture and test smart and cognitive systems and devices, which utilise a combination of these disciplines. Students on this key undergraduate programme will gain this knowledge of engineering processes and systems, product design, digital electronics and integration of these technologies.

This will also enable them to create their own mechatronic systems that are smart and cognitive, developing them from imagination through to reality.

The general aim is to provide a programme of study for mechatronics engineers of sufficient width and depth to meet the demands of their profession. A specific aim of the programme is to promote an active interest in engineering and to encourage students to respond to changes and developments within automation, mechanical systems, robotics and related wider engineering sector.
