| Aims of the Programme |
The aim of this programme is to produce Engineers with expertise in Mechatronics and Robotics who have the ability to solve novel engineering problems by designing, developing and/or using mechatronic and robotic devices and systems with the associated software, subject to trade-offs involving a set of competing goals and constraints. Their level of ability will be beyond “assembling” or “configuring” systems. They will be equipped to play leading roles in a professional capacity in both industry and academia, and who have developed the technical, intellectual and transferable skills needed to underpin their education and continuing professional development.
Graduates will have a systematic knowledge and understanding of Mechatronic Engineering, including various important specialisms. Some of their knowledge and understanding will be at the forefront of the discipline.
Typical graduates will be able to make sound judgements in the absence of complete information, with an awareness of the context in which they work. They will be self-motivating, and will have the qualities and transferable skills necessary to take responsibility for their continuing personal and professional development. They will only need to complete a matching section to have the education to qualify as a chartered engineer.
The high level of numeracy of graduates, and their skills in problem solving, team working, and communication and information technology, equip them for successful careers outside as well as within the electronics, electrical engineering, telecommunications and computing industries. |
