Mechatronics BEng (Hons) at De Montfort University is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated. Students who successfully graduate with this degree may, with the appropriate further learning, meet the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. This course gives you an opportunity to learn skills sought after from professional engineers, with sound analytical proficiency in embedded systems, digital electronics and dynamics and control, complemented by the 3D design and management skills necessary to work in modern industry. The course aims to develop your theoretical and practical knowledge of digital electronics, embedded systems, programming and dynamic systems, giving you the mathematical knowledge to analyse these using manual calculations and computer aided methods. You will use and develop you skills using industry standard software such as ProEngineer, MatLab, OrCAD and Algor FEA Analysis and have access to computer and experimental laboratory facilities.
100% of our Mechatronics graduates from summer 2017 are in work or further study after graduating according to the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) 2016-17 report.
