Bachelor of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering (Honours)
KPT/JPT (R2/523/6/0230) 03/27 - MQA/FA7519
Revolutionise the way we live and work.
Robotics and mechatronics is where mechanical and electrical engineering meet, employing computer science and control systems to make devices smarter and more efficient.
As a robotics and mechatronics engineer, you could design the control systems for a myriad of applications ranging from autonomous vehicles to miniature robots for use in medical applications. Or you might take an everyday household product and turn it into a truly clever device.
Robotics and mechatronics engineers design devices, and build autonomous systems to activate those devices. They’re adept at handling vast amounts of data and creating systems that make sense of data in real time so that a fully automated manufacturing facility can operate safely and efficiently, or a self-driving car can control the vehicle without human intervention.
The applications of robotics and mechatronics engineering are virtually unlimited. With the knowledge and skills you’ll have when you graduate, you’ll be able to design, develop, manufacture and operate the intelligent products and complex systems of today and the emerging technologies of tomorrow.
