BSc MechatronicsAdd to shortlist

Programme profile

Mechatronics Engineering is the efficient and effective integration of mechanical systems and electronics and intelligent control. Mechatronics engineers employ precision engineering, control engineering, computer science, mathematics and sensor technology to design enhanced or 'smart' products, processes and systems. Almost everywhere you look you can see a mechatronic systems. During the coming decades we will see an explosion of these automated systems further infiltrating our lives. Already mechatronics systems are utilised in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, medicine and the service sector. In this programme you will get a combination of theoretical subjects and practical training. This practical training is very important.

During programme, for 2 semesters, you work and study in an internationally-oriented company in the Netherlands where you apply your knowledge. These semesters are placed in the third year (internship) and in the fourth year (graduation project).

Programme content

Year 1: Technical Skills; Communication Skills; Industrial Electrical Practice; Programming in C++; Mathematics; Analogue Electronics; Management Game; Digital Techniques; PLC Control Systems; Construction and Mechanics

The learned theory and the acquired skills are immediately used in laboratory work and projects. Especially in the first year the projects are based on gamification: principles and techniques how to improve team work and learning how to do projects. A future Mechatronics engineer has excellent knowledge and skills but he/she also needs to be a perfect team worker

Year 2: Frequency Analysis; Industrial Design; Power Electronics; Digital Techniques; Structured Design; Energy + Conversions; Embedded Systems; Analogue Electronics; Electrical Drive Systems; Practical Lab- View:Telecoms; Mechatronics;

In the 2nd year you start to do projects with students from other Engineering disciplines like Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Project based learning has a strong relationship with the subject-specific courses. The projects all have a link with real-time assignments from industry. In the second year you will take part in EXPO (= Engineering eXPerience Organisation) projects; in the 3rd and 4th year IPD (= Integrated Product Development) projects.

Year 3: Electives; Internship in International Company

Year 4: Specialisation Programme  in either Mechatronics or Robotics
