About This Programme

An interdisciplinary degree (formerly Mechatronics) integrating mechanical, electrical and computer engineering with robotics, control, automation and intelligent systems. Prepares graduates for advanced manufacturing, robotics and autonomous-systems careers.

Course Highlights

  • Multidisciplinary degree merging electrical and mechanical engineering (formerly Mechatronics)
  • Targets Fourth Industrial Revolution fields: autonomous vehicles and drones, robotics, automation, additive manufacturing, IoT and smart grids
  • Hands-on mechatronic-systems, measurement/control and design laboratories
  • Two-semester capstone design project and mandatory industry internship

What You'll Study

A multidisciplinary programme merging electrical and mechanical engineering, taught through mechatronics, control, signal-processing and machine-learning courses with computer-application and design labs, a required 8-week summer internship (NGN 397), and a two-semester senior design project (ISM 490/491).
