Master of Engineering (Mechatronic & Automatic Control)

Mechatronics and Control Engineering is a multi-disciplinary subject, with applications across a wide range of industrial sectors. The M. Eng (Mechatronics and Automatic Control) program aims to equip graduates, with both the theoretical and the practical skills necessary to apply modern control techniques to a wide range of industrial problems and/or embark on further research. This course covers all the major aspects of control theory and mechatronics including adaptive and robust control, artificial intelligence, process control, artificial intelligence, industrial instrumentation, robotics, and control applications in mechatronic systems and their application to the design of control systems. Students will also acquire expertise in the use of computer packages for control design. Outstanding students in this program may continue with research leading to a Ph.D.

Option for double-degree:  This program also offers an option for double-degree mode with the University of Burgundy (UoB), whereupon completing an extra semester in UoB, students are eligible for conferment two Master’s degrees from UTM and UoB. This study option takes a minimum of 4 semesters to complete. This study option would require students to apply for admission to UoB. Students have to complete the first two semesters of study in UTM, followed by one semester in UoB. The final semester can be done either in UTM or UoB. For further details, please consult the Postgraduate Office.
