Mechatronic Systems (Including Placement Year) - BEng (Hons)

### What is the BEng (Hons) Mechatronic Systems The BEng (Hons) Mechatronic Systems is a three-year degree, extendable to four with an optional year in placement or abroad. You’ll build a strong foundation in electronics, computer engineering and robotics, as well as the skills and tools to develop and test your own mechatronic systems. ### Why this course The BEng (Hons) Mechatronic Systems gives you the theory and practical knowledge to understand – and create – mechatronic systems that make a real impact on the world. You’ll learn about engineering processes, product design, and the use of digital and computer-aided (CAD) software. You’ll learn from active computer scientists and engineers whose work and teaching are driven by creativity and imagination as well as technical excellence. Discover which areas you’re interested in exploring further such as assistive technologies, computer games, artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation, Big Data or robotics. You’ll also be able to undertake a project or product development specified by a member of academic staff or a partner company. Add a placement year or study abroad to put your learning into practice, expand your perspective and build confidence in professional or international settings. You’ll graduate as a creative, experimental and focused engineer ready to explore further how electronics can impact the world around you. ### Who should apply Future mechatronic and electronic engineers Students eager to develop their own electronics in a range of industries Those considering a career that benefits from a broad understanding of how electronic and computing systems work People who get to the heart of how things work
