Mechatronic Engineering (Robotics) programme focuses on the integration of mechanical, electronic and computer control, which addresses the engineering needs of Industry 4.0. This programme is also structured for specialisation in robotics engineering.

The programme prepares graduates to be ready for the future workforce with a strong focus on Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Automation. Throughout the programme, emphasis on sustainability and real-world learning is achieved through the incorporation of industry-related and UN SDG-related project-based learning. Students explore sustainable solutions to real-world problems by employing technologies such as AI, Data Analytics, Industrial Automation, Robotics and Internet-of-things.

This programme is supported by laboratory facilities that are developed with industry partnerships i.e. the Collaborative Robots and Industrial Automation Laboratory and Mobile Robotics Laboratory.

Programme Educational Objectives 

PEO 1 : Graduates progress as competent mechatronic engineering professionals, robotics specialists or leaders in their profession or related fields.

PEO 2 : Graduates embrace lifelong learning to maintain and enhance their knowledge and competence through interdisciplinary education relevant to industrial and academic careers.

PEO 3 : Graduates practice sustainability, professional conduct, and ethics for the betterment of society and environment.     

Programme Learning Outcomes

PLO 1 : Engineering Knowledge - Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, computing and engineering fundamentals, and mechatronic and robotics engineering specialization as specified in WK1 to WK4 respectively to develop solutions to complex mechatronic and robotics engineering problems. 

PLO 2 : Problem Analysis - Identify, formulate, research literature and analyze complex mechatronic and robotics engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences with holistic considerations for sustainable development (WK1 to WK4). 

PLO 3 : Design/ Development of Solutions - Design creative solutions for complex mechatronic and robotics engineering problems and design systems, components or processes to meet identified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, whole-life cost, net zero carbon as well as resource, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations as required (WK5). 

PLO 4 : Investigation - Conduct investigation of complex mechatronic and robotics engineering problems using research methods including research-based knowledge, including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions (WK8). 

PLO 5 : Tool Usage - Create, select and apply, and recognize limitation of appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex mechatronic and robotics engineering problems (WK2 and WK6). 

PLO 6 : The Engineer and the World - Analyze and evaluate sustainable development impacts to: society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal frameworks, and the environment, in sharing knowledge and solving complex mechatronic and robotics engineering problems. (WK1, WK5, and WK7). 

PLO 7 : Ethics - Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and norms of mechatronic and robotics engineering practice and adhere to relevant national and international laws. Demonstrate an understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion (WK9). 

PLO 8 : Individual and Collaborative Team Work - Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse and inclusive teams and in multidisciplinary, face-to-face, remote and distributed settings (WK9). 

PLO 9 : Communication - Communicate effectively and inclusively on complex mechatronic and robotics engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, taking into account cultural, language, and learning differences. 

PLO 10 : Project Management and Finance - Apply knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.

PLO 11 : Life Long Learning - Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability for independent and life-long learning, adaptability to new and emerging technologies and critical thinking, and knowledge sharing in the broadest context of technological change (WK8). 

“The Sunway University Bachelor of Mechatronic Engineering (Robotics) with Honours (BEng Hons) degree is recognised as equivalent to that of Lancaster University's Master of Engineering Mechatronic Engineering (Robotics) (MEng Hons) degree. Upon successfully completing the programme, Sunway University BEng Hons degree graduates will also be awarded the MEng Hons degree from Lancaster University. They will be awarded two certificates, making them graduates of both Sunway University and Lancaster University.”
