Engineering TechnologyDescription of the Programme
Mechatronic engineering is the combination of mechanical, electrical and computer technologies to make devices smarter and more efficient. An example of a mechatronic engineering product is the industrial robots: computer-controlled mechanical arms able to perform manual labour with greater efficiency, strength and speed than a human being. In the modern world, computer-controlled systems are a reality and commonplace in the industry, business and homes. The growing application of mechatronics has resulted in the design and development of smart and efficient mechatronic products including air-conditioning, washing machines, computer printers and cameras, hybrid automobiles and automated robotic climbing wheelchairs. Therefore, students will be equipped with the principles of contemporary manufacturing engineering which combines mechanics, electronics and computing to realize more economical, reliable, simpler and versatile systems. Modules on the course include microcontroller architecture and applications, control theory, Electronic Devices and Circuits, mechanical engineering design, computer-aided engineering, foundation in electrical energy utilisation, electronics, engineering systems, engineering analysis, computer-aided design, control systems analysis, drawing and manufacturing, robotics and flexible automation.
