Bachelor of Science Honours in Engineering – Mechatronics Engineering

The B.Sc. (Hons) in Mechatronics Engineering program is designed to produce highly skilled engineers capable of integrating mechanical, electronic, and computer-based technologies to develop intelligent systems and automation solutions. This program equips students with the theoretical and practical expertise needed for careers in cutting-edge fields such as robotics, industrial automation, smart manufacturing, embedded systems, autonomous vehicles, and biomedical engineering.

The Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering program emphasizes the development of technical skills required to design, analyze, and implement advanced mechatronic systems, bridging the gap between mechanical and electronic engineering.

The curriculum includes core subjects such as Engineering Mechanics, Control Systems, Robotics and Automation, Embedded Systems, Microcontrollers and Interfacing, Sensors and Actuators, Signal Processing, Artificial Intelligence in Mechatronics, Manufacturing Systems, Engineering Mathematics, and Industrial Management. Students gain hands-on experience through laboratory work, industrial training, and exposure to modern engineering tools and simulation software.

In the final year, students undertake an undergraduate project that allows them to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems, enhancing their technical proficiency, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork skills. This experience prepares graduates to lead innovation in mechatronic system design and automation in various industries.
