Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering with Honours

University of Wollongong Malaysia

The interdisciplinary nature of mechatronics engineering, which encompasses mechanical, electronics, computer, control and systems design engineering, is envisaged to become increasingly important in the future-both domestically and globally. Mechatronics engineering has been recognised as a continuously evolving field in the creation of intelligent machines and advanced manufacturing and processing systems. At UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College, Batu Kawan, the Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering with Honours degree program is designed to expose students to the principles and practice of mechatronics by gaining knowledge of engineering processes, mechanical principles, as well as the use of digital electronics, 3D printing technology and computer-aided (CAD) software. It has a strong focus on design and hands-on, project-based learning activities that use equipment associated with robotics, industrial control and advanced manufacturing. This provides a holistic preparation for students to enter future challenges in both existing and emerging sectors, including roles in electrical and electronics engineering and mechanical engineering career pathways.
