Location of Newcastle University
The School of Mechanical and Systems Engineering can trace its origins back to 1871 when engineering was first taught at the then Armstrong College. Today, we have a lively, inter-disciplinary postgraduate community with graduates from mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, engineering mathematics, physics, chemistry, chemical engineering and mathematics.
Our main research areas are: bioengineering/sensors/MEMS; solid mechanics/composites/railway research/advanced manufacturing; and fluid dynamics/mathematical modelling/thermal systems.
Careers: excellent and rewarding careers in manufacturing industry, energy companies, universities (UK and overseas) and industrial research; opportunities also exist in related academic disciplines.
The MSc in Mechatronics programme aims to give engineering and science graduates a good grounding in mechatronics design and practice, including mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, control systems and computing, which will enable you to work effectively in an interdisciplinary engineering environment. The duration of the course is 12 month full-time and is a collaboration between the Schools of Mechanical and Systems Engineering and Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering.
Contents
You complete compulsory modules (80 credits) which typically include: mechatronics; sensors and actuators; robotics; distributed control systems; microprocessor systems; methods in industrial research and development. If English is not your first language you will normally be required to complete a module in writing dissertations in science and engineering (10 credits).
You also take a research project with either an electronic or mechanical engineering emphasis (60 credits). Depending on your background, optional modules (30-40 credits) are available in a wide range of areas including: industrial automation; automatic control; mechanical power transmissions; high-performance embedded systems.
