Programme Description
The Master of Science in Mechatronics programme provides students with a broad range of knowledge and skills in the field of automation and control of production processes and equipment, as well as in the field of mechatronic devices and systems control. It focuses on the study of network technologies (e.g. Ethernet, Industrial Protocol, Profinet, Modbus, Profibus, Devicenet, Control Net), and the development of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system construction. The practical use of real-time systems is also an important part of the programme. Students will learn how to apply the theoretical principles of industrial robotics and mechatronics, mechatronic and robotic actuators, and modern technologies of microcontroller applications to practical situations.
This course is not related to the Engineering Warrant.
Programme Learning Outcomes
At the end of the programme the students are able to;
1.Appraise the purpose, functioning and need for mechatronic systems in modern industry and everyday life as true interdisciplinary systems.
2.Assess various mechanisms, sensors, actuators and controllers as components of a mechatronic system.
3.Model and design mechatronic systems based on customer requirements, specifications, and best practice examples.
4.Develop a stand-alone mechatronic system based on user-case specifications.
5.Integrate a mechatronic system as an intelligent upgrade of an already functioning system in industry.
6.Plan development projects independently and in teams.
