The course aims to develop the student's ability to engage in research which is principally represented by the substantial individual project undertaken in the second and final semester. The student uses this knowledge and displays the ability to apply a Mechatronic approach to the solution of a technological problem. A project is undertaken at an appropriate standard for the award of MSc. The project is industrially based, attached to one of the Mechatronic Research Teams within the Faculty of Computing Sciences and Engineering or in other collaborating institutions. Candidates entering with substantial Mechatronic knowledge undertake the individual project component of the programme.
Selection is by interview.
