Bachelor of Engineering in Automation and Robotics

Course Description

The Bachelor of Automation and Robotics (Honors) degree program is a specialized educational program that prepares students for careers in the field of automation and robotics. Autonomous and remotely operated systems are used in a variety of industries and settings, including manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation, to improve efficiencies, reduce risk to human workers, and improve the quality of life. The program likely includes coursework in subjects such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science, as well as hands-on learning opportunities through lab sessions and internships. The program aims to provide students with the theoretical and applied expertise needed to succeed in the high-demand field of automation and robotics, which requires a combination of knowledge in these three fields of engineering. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be well-prepared to pursue careers in automation and robotics or related fields.

• Analyze, design, modify and support mechanical, software and electrical components, processes and systems by applying fundamentals of engineering.
• Build functional robotic components by researching and integrating knowledge from mechanical, electrical and software engineering practices.
• Customize existing non-autonomous systems into autonomous or semi-autonomous systems by designing and integrating solutions and developing autonomy algorithms and controls.
• Analyze and solve complex technical problems in the field of robotics and automation, by applying the principles of engineering and mathematics.
