Mechatronics engineering
Class: L-8 R -
Mechatronics is a branch of Engineering that focuses on the design, production, and maintenance of products that have both mechanical and electronic components. The course will provide you with a solid technical foundation in the areas of electronic, computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering, enabling you to design, create, and manage equipment and systems with a high level of integration between mechanical and electronic parts, applying modern sensor technologies, electronic actuators, and electric drives. By the end of the program, you will have acquired the skills to complete moderately complex projects that require the simultaneous and integrated use of electronic, mechanical, computer, and automation technologies. You will be able to find employment in industrial sectors such as automation, manufacturing, energy, robotics, and automotive.
