Use of equipment in the laboratory will familiarise you with equipment used by industry.Assessment by technical reports will enhance report writing skills.Employers prefer to employ graduates that have multidisciplinary skills. The mechatronics approach to design will satisfy this need and will motivate you to enhance their career opportunities. Examples from journals and research papers will be referencedReport writing guide will be included to help international students and those not familiar with report writing.The wide range of learning modes e.g. lecture, tutorial, seminar, hands-on laboratory, laboratory demonstrations will provide diversity.
