Top Core Courses

Get a head start on your career with our Bachelor of Technology (Honours) in Mechatronics. Here are some core courses designed to equip you with the most relevant and up-to-date skill set:

Process Control and Instrumentation

This course aim provides students with a basic understanding of process control and instrumentation. The basic principles of process control are described for students to gain a general understanding, followed by the sensor and its characteristics. The basic elements to construct a process control block diagram, discrete-state, and continuous process control are explained with examples. The students also will be exposed to both analog and digital signal conditioning as well as the basic concepts of analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Both ADC and DAC are very useful as they act as an interface between an analog (e.g., the sensor) and digital system (e.g., the microcontroller).

Python Programming 1

Python is the fastest-growing programming language globally, mainly due to its simplicity, large community, and wealth of applications; Python is faster at complex calculations, can handle huge datasets (big data), has more packages (libraries), and can be used to build standalone or web-based applications. Python is also much friendlier and easier to learn than C++, thus is viewed as a language suitable for beginners and advanced programmers alike .

Automation and Robotics

This course is to provide the knowledge of sensors, actuators and machine vision apply to robotics, and the mathematical and computational techniques for analyzing robotic motion.electronics, mechanics and software.work holding, tooling, parts assembly, material handling and the required software.

Mechatronics Systems Design with IoT Application

This course aims to provide students with knowledge, skills, and exposure to the integrated design process of mechatronics systems. It enables the students to appreciate components of mechatronics systems, such as sensors and actuators and how they can be integrated into a useful system for value creation.

Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing

This course is to introduce the use of computer aided systems in manufacturing, and to expose students to various features in CAD/CAM that enable integration between design and manufacturing.
