Autonomous and robotic systems are increasingly prevalent, encompassing industrial robotic arms, vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, self-driving cars, drones, space robotics, and other mechatronic applications. Global industry emphasizes Robotics and Automated Systems (RAS) through strategic documents and networks, with companies seeking skilled graduate engineers to develop these technologies. This course delivers essential skills in robotics, mechatronics, and control, enabling students to grasp fundamental processes and techniques. It integrates electronics, control systems, manufacturing principles, and mechanics, combining theoretical and practical engineering with real-world industrial applications.The BEng and MEng programs share the first two years, focusing on core engineering, electrical science, control design, and mechanical engineering for robotics, with a strong emphasis on solving industrial problems. The MEng extends into the third and fourth years with in-depth specialist studies, additional business management modules, and opportunities for high-performing BEng students to transfer. Assessment includes coursework and examinations (30-50% coursework), plus project reports and presentations. The course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, ensuring industry recognition.
