Bachelor of Engineering - Mechatronic Engineering (DC193)

Mechatronic engineering skills are in demand by both national and international companies looking to ensure that products they manufacture are up-to-date and can be produced economically.

This course all about how intelligent machines are built through the meeting of mechanical systems such as engines and machines with the electronics needed to control them. 

This course perfectly blends mechanical engineering and electronic engineering. It offers classes in 3D modelling and design, for example, as well as circuit design and programming. DCU students and staff are intrigued and inspired by the interplay between electronics and moving parts in connected devices and state-of-the-art machinery. 

The skills learned in this course can be applied to many areas.

DCU Engineering degree program have international recognition through agreements with Engineers Ireland. This enables graduates to practice as professional engineers in many countries, both in the EU and in the signatory countries to the Washington Accord.

Current signatories to the Washington Accord include: Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland (Engineers Ireland), Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, The UK & The USA.

Alternatively, students could opt for further academic studies in one of the popular taught postgraduate program, or perhaps a career in research within one of the internationally respected research groups in DCU.
