Why do we offer Mechatronic Engineering?

The regular study period of the Bachelor’s program in Mechatronics at GMIT is eight semesters, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. The entire course encompasses 240 ECTS credits. Mechatronics is an exciting and evolving engineering field that blends mechanical, electrical, and information technology disciplines. It focuses on creating interconnected systems that combine mechanical and electronic parts to collect, process, and translate data into actions. In today's world, mechatronic systems are ubiquitous, found in car safety features like ABS and ESP, industrial robots, household electronics, and heavy machinery controls. The main goal of a Mechatronics degree program is to equip students with the necessary knowledge, skills, and expertise in engineering, math, and natural sciences to develop, enhance, operate, and sustain mechatronic systems in a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable manner. The program aims to prepare graduates for practical careers or entrepreneurial ventures in mechatronics and promote lifelong learning. Graduates should be able to work as engineers in various roles such as design, development, manufacturing, distribution, and consulting, contributing significantly to both society and the mechatronics field.
