Industrial Automation and Mechatronics (H7121)
15 credits, Level 5
Spring teaching
On this module, you'll gain the knowledge and understanding of key mechatronic concepts such as mechanics, electronics and informatics.
It focuses on industrial applications, with hands-on lab sessions using industrial-grade equipment. The sessions cover logic control programming using Programmable Logical Controllers (PLCs), programming of an industrial robotic arm, and implementation of machine vision for defect detection.
You will also apply engineering practice including communication and interpretation of technical information using standard diagrams and symbols, general safety considerations when operating with/around robotic/mechatronics equipment, as well as quality management standards.
