Combining Mechanical and Electronics
Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering with Honours in UTAR is an EAC (Engineering Accreditation Council) accredited programme. This programme aims to equip students with strong foundation in the principles of engineering, focusing on the use of engineering knowledge in the mechatronics and automation related industries. It serves as a bridge to many different industries , where mechatronics engineering graduates are highly desirable.
Mechatronics Engineering
Mechatronics engineering is an emerging field of engineering that integrates mechanical engineering, electronics, and computer engineering and information technology. It includes robotics and automation systems, precision engineering, micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) and many other leading-edge technologies. The core activities within mechatronics focus on the development and integration of intelligent sensors, industrial automations, robotics, actuators, microsystems and advanced decision-making and control strategies. This programme is meticulously designed in response to the rapid growth of interest in mechatronics and precision engineering. It aims to produce graduates who demonstrate capabilities as effective problem solvers and are knowledgeable in applying logical, critical and creative thinking to a range of challenges and problems. They will also display effective communication skills, be able to integrate well into the industry and contribute positively as a professional to the community.
Career Prospect
Mechatronics engineers can work in any industry that develops, uses, designs or manufactures integrated and ‘smart’ devices. Opportunities exist in manufacturing, research and even sales and marketing. Mechatronics devices consist of products in medicine and surgery, agriculture, buildings, homes, automobiles, toys, intelligent aids for the elderly and the disabled, and in the entertainment industry. The UTAR Mechatronics Engineering focuses on the precision engineering that covers equipment makers, tooling, precision products and precision processes.
