Mechatronics Systems

The Programme Educational Objectives
The Programme Educational Objectives are closely aligned with the SITizen-DNA. Graduates of the programme, after working three to five years, are expected to:

• Solve complex engineering problems through mechatronics systems engineering using up-to-date technical skills and knowledge.
• Create innovative systems solutions for a dynamic technological and business environment through critical thinking and lifelong professional development.
• Communicate effectively and have the interpersonal and project management skills needed to function effectively as a leader or member in multidisciplinary teams.
• Discharge their professional responsibilities in benefiting the society with due consideration given to health, safety, societal and environmental issues.

Curriculum
Traditional approaches to mechatronics engineering education focus individually on the different sub-disciplines of mechanical, electrical, electronic or computer engineering. Systems engineering transcends these boundaries and looks at integrating and optimising systems from diverse multidisciplinary engineering to produce operational systems throughout their life cycles. Systems engineering enables the development, analysis and management of multidisciplinary mechatronic systems with a broad range of applications. Its methodologies address real-world complexities such as uncertainty, constraints, multiple objectives, and interactions among various parts or subsystems that constitute the whole. Trained systems engineers use sophisticated methods to develop and effectively manage engineered systems in today’s complex and interconnected world.

Accreditation
Full accreditation of the programme has been granted by the Engineering Accreditation Board.
