Engineering (Mechatronics) Honours / double degree

Mechatronics engineering is the integration of electrical, electronic, and computer engineering with mechanical and industrial engineering, enabling the development of intelligent machines and advanced manufacturing and processing systems. Areas of study within mechatronics include mechanics and dynamics, computer-aided design and manufacturing, digital electronics, signal analysis, electro-mechanical systems, advanced materials, sensor technology, industrial control, robotics, system design and development Project management. The course produces engineers with strong competencies in electrical, electronic, computer and mechanical engineering, who can participate in and lead complex, multidisciplinary projects.

The motorsports component further develops engineering problem-solving abilities as well as the technical, financial and management skills associated with manufacturing industries in general The motorsports industry in particular. Students gain a solid understanding of the entire design, simulation and fabrication processes and management issues associated with the manufacturing industries, with particular emphasis on motorsports. Students also have the opportunity to further develop competencies through the provision of extra-curricular activities to help progression into the motorsports industry.
