MSc Mechatronics and Computer Systems Engineering

University of East London

This MSc programme combines principles from mechanics, electronics, control, computers, automation, and robotics to design, manufacture and test smart and cognitive systems and devices, that use a combination of these disciplines. This will enable you to gain a depth of advanced knowledge and critical awareness of the most up-to-date practices and theories in mechatronics and computer systems engineering. The postgraduate programme will arm you with all you need to be able to create your own mechatronic systems that are smart and cognitive, developing them from imagination through to reality.This course has many options for tailoring to a specialisation and bespoke experience; it is designed to be a broad yet challenging taught course, focusing on ensuring that you leave with a skill set that is required in the industry. If you are looking for a postgraduate qualification that will enhance your knowledge and employability, then apply today.The course includes a number of self-contained, taught modules organised around the various areas of mechatronics engineering. There is a wide range of modules from which the students can choose which includes: Highway and Railway Engineering, Automation and Robotics, Smart Industries and Digital Manufacturing, Intelligent Transport Systems, Wireless Signal Propagation, and Machine Learning on Big Data.All modules include coursework, for which you will have opportunities to apply your knowledge to engineering projects related to real-life situations.This coursework will include analysis and design projects, research reports, group and seminar presentations, and a research dissertation project. You will also attend lectures, seminars, and tutorials and you will work both individually and in groups. To support the hands-on nature of this course, we have an impressive range of facilities. You will have access to superb computer facilities and the very latest design software.There is an acknowledged shortage of skilled mechatronics engineers with the right qualifications and experience.
