Course details
Course description
To interact with an object, a mechatronic system must know where the object is, be able to move the object and place it in the required new position. The electronics require information from sensors that can detect position, orientation, and visual or audio signals. The electrical inputs from the sensors have to be interpreted and the appropriate signals sent out to the actuators to perform the required operation.
A good understanding of feedback control is also required to make changes in the system from one steady position to another, without oscillations or unpredictable movements. In this course you will learn the techniques necessary for the design and implementation of such intelligent mechatronic systems.
In the final year you will also complete a team project directly funded by industry or inspired by industrial needs. Past projects have included developing an instrumented training wheelchair for para-athletes, creating a new core infrastructure for a robot orchestra, and developing a cyber-secure electricity management system in smart cities.
Spending a year in industry will not only develop your business, team working and transferable skills - all highly sought-after by employers - it will also highlight the broad range of careers on offer to you and guide your choice of subject options. You'll place yourself in a great position to move your career forward.
Aims
- You will learn robotics, mechatronics, and autonomous system technology and how to incorporate an electronics nervous system into other engineering systems and devices.
- We will provide ample opportunity for practical application and project work. These are strong themes throughout our course.
- You will be taught by academics working on the cutting-edge of research, helping to solve the world's biggest challenges.
- You will gain first-hand industrial experience at a recognised company, acquiring the knowledge and skills to take your learning to the next level.
- In the final year you will undertake a team project either directly funded by industry or based on industrial needs.

Regular, close support
During the first year, you will be supported by unit-specific tutors, who hold weekly small-group sessions to discuss questions related to your course. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to engage with our award-winning Peer Assisted Study Session scheme which allows you to interact with 2nd and 3rd Year students. You'll also be assigned an Academic Advisor, who will support you in terms of your academic progression and career development.
Options and flexibility
The first three semesters of our undergraduate courses share the same content. This allows you to transfer between electrical and electronic, electronic and mechatronic engineering up until halfway through your second year.
Teaching and learning
In your first year of study there is approximately a 50:50 split between your contact time and independent study; about the same as when studying for A-levels.
In subsequent years this split changes to a greater amount of independent learning, with the split being approximately 30:70 in the third year, and 20:80 in the forth. This does not mean that less help is available; our staff are here to help.
Contact time could be in a lecture, example class, tutorial, laboratory class and sometimes may be online (email/e-learning/web blog etc). All of these activities enable you to interact with us to ensure you have the best possible learning experience.
The course contains strong practical elements: a year-long practical build project of an electronic device in Year 1, a year-long practical build project of an autonomous embedded system in Year 2, a year-long practical research project in Year 3, and an industrially related year-long engineering team project in Year 4.
During your year in industry, an academic supervisor will ensure that your activity is strongly related with your degree and you will have the opportunity to spend a year working on engineering projects in an industrial setting.Coursework and assessment
