The Master’s Degree in Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering combines traditional aspects of mechanical engineering with specialisms from the ICT, such as electronics, automation and robotics.

The course aims to give students professional knowledge and skills to conduct and lead mechanical engineering projects integrating smart ICT, electrical and control systems.

The course offers two curricula:

• Mechatronics
  The curriculum Mechatronics aims to train mechanical engineers to develop projects involving mechatronic products, i.e. mechanically-based systems on which information engineering technologies (such as electronics and automation) are grafted. The curriculum is entirely taught in English.
   
• Smart Technology Engineering
  The curriculum Smart Technology Engineering is aimed at providing mechanical engineers with additional knowledge and skills in the field of ICT. The smart technologies are seen in different contexts, such us manufacturing plants (Smart Manufacturing), building automation and human activities (Smart Living). The curriculum is entirely taught in English.

The Master’s Degree in Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering trains high-profile professional figures with a solid engineering and methodological basis, who are able to develop and design complex mechanical systems by integrating advanced technologies in the fields of electronics, controls and robotics.

Graduates in Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering have an overview of advanced mechanical systems, as well as the ability to apply the digital technologies in production systems, industrial products, buildings and infrastructures.
