Course Details

Objectives: Mechatronic Engineers are relatively recent professional figures, but highly appreciated because they respond to the needs of a labour market that often requires knowhow to integrate electronics, mechanics, electrical drives, automatic controls and computers, from the very beginning of the design process. This approach enables engineers to identify new mechatronic solutions where a traditional approach would not be enough, or where performance would be lower.
Therefore, students studying for a MSc degree in Mechatronic Engineering receive ¿transversal' training that includes all of these areas. Mechatronic engineers are thus technicians with an ample, broad-spectrum preparation that enables them to manage laboratories and plants, and to work together with specialists from various fields operating in the fields of design, engineering, production, implementation and maintenance of mechatronic systems and devices.
The numerous and varied employment opportunities include manufacturing firms and service providers, public and private, large, medium or small, operating in areas of advanced design, planning, programming and management of complex systems and product and process innovation. Mechatronic engineers are particularly appreciated in small enterprises because of their ability to deal with a variety of interdisciplinary problems.
Graduates with a MSc in Mechatronic Engineering are in high demand by automation companies, where complex automation systems are developed, designed and created; by electronic, electromechanic and mechanical firms that design and produce mechanical, motor vehicle, aeronautic and space, and robotics systems; and by industrial manufacturers needing engineers who can combine their skills in mechanics with their knowledge of electronics, computer science, electrical drives and automation.
