Mechatronics and Robotics BEng

Overview

The BEng Mechatronics and Robotics programme offers a strong understanding of Artificial Intelligence, automation systems, Industrial Internet of Things as well as mechatronics for real-time systems through practice-based learning.

With waves of new technology, the opening of application areas and in response to changes in industrial focus and interest, this programme in the area of automation engineering, offers fresh technological content and opportunities for practice-based skills development.

What does our degree do?

The programme combines Mechatronics and Robotics aspects by introducing students to the science and technology of design, implementation and maintenance of industry-used software and hardware components for modern automation systems with a network of intelligent devices.

The programme will prepare students with a set of theoretical knowledge skills by providing a solid background into the theories and principles of computing, mathematics, science and engineering as well as a set of practical skills by applying these theories and principles in solving real-world technical engineering problems.

Why study BEng Mechatronics & Robotics at Middlesex University?

The degree produces professional and competent multi-disciplinary engineers capable of meeting the challenges and opportunities arising in contemporary industrial and commercial practice.

You will explore all aspects of engineering to get a broad understanding of robotics, design, electronics, mechatronics and networking solutions. Using the latest hardware and software, including LabVIEW, MATLAB, SolidWorks, NX and STEP-7, you will also learn to develop systems that control physical motion – such as the ones you’ll find in robotic applications and industrial automation.

To support your career success, you will build a professional portfolio of work throughout your degree and receive regular guest lectures and project feedback from industry professionals, with the option of spending a year on industry placement.
