University of Wollongong Dubai

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Mechatronic Engineering

Mechatronics, as a multidisciplinary engineering discipline, develops the skill sets demanded for in areas such as Industry 4.0 systems, Internet of Things, Robotic Systems, drones, Autonomous Vehicles, Assistive technologies, Medical Appliances and Robots. It focuses on mechanical, electrical and electronic, computer engineering systems, and their interdisciplinary combination in order to create smarter systems of great use to us. Industrial robots are a famous example of mechatronic engineering: computer-controlled mechanical arms capable of performing manual labour with greater strength, speed and efficiency than a human.  The reality is computer control of systems is so commonplace in homes, business and industry that nearly everyone uses a mechatronic system every day, from washing machines to central air-conditioning, cameras and computer printers.

In the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) – Mechatronic Engineering Degree you will study key areas and develop skills in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, software and hardware design in order to be able to design, develop and manage complex mechatronic systems. The course provides essential foundations for dealing with devices such as Sensors, Actuators, Control Systems, Embedded Systems, Robotics, Industrial hydraulics and Pneumatics, Industrial Automation, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), Microcontrollers, Cyber-Physical Systems, 3D Printing, and Integrated Technologies such as AI and IoT.
