Diploma in Mechatronic Engineering

Course Overview

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary engineering branch incorporating Mechanical, Electronics, Control, Networking and Software systems. The synergy of these systems is widely used in multiple industries which typically include automation and system integration. Graduates are therefore involved in almost all levels of various sectors, namely: design, development, applications, manufacturing and advanced research.
