📖Program Curriculum
PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
You will study the same courses in the first three whether you are on the BEng or degree programme
YEAR 1
You will take courses in mechanical engineering mathematics dynamics digital and analogue electronics materials statics thermodynamics and engineering skills This interdisciplinary approach also makes it easy to switch to most other engineering disciplines at the end of 1 should you wish to do so
YEAR 2
You will continue to study mathematics and fundamental engineering courses linking the mechanical and electrical domains which form the basis for the study of mechatronics
YEAR 3
You will develop knowledge and skills in electronic system design real-time programming and control systems This is combined with study of mechanical instrumentation and data systems to develop the interdisciplinary skills necessary to undertake a mechatronic group design project
YEARS 4 AND 5
In 4 and 5 you will take a range of courses in engineering In addition you will take courses in professional practice including developing business plans understanding professional and legal requirements and management
In your final you will undertake a major individual project which for the degree may be in industry or on an industry-supported topic The final is completed by a range of in-depth technical courses
