Master of Engineering Studies - Mechatronics Engineering - Taught 180 points

The University of Auckland

The MEngSt allows students with academic engineering backgrounds to expand their existing theoretical and practical skills. It is flexible – you can study either full-time or part-time, undertake either a primarily coursework or research-focused programme, and choose from sixteen distinct specialisations. This programme ultimately requires an in-depth exploration of your chosen topic. You will demonstrate the high-quality critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are sought-after by employers worldwide, or consider this as foundation for further study.The Department of Mechanical Engineering has enjoyed a long history of research excellence. Embarking on postgraduate study with us gives you the opportunity to tackle projects with real-life relevance, within theoretical frameworks that remain applicable for the future. Major topics that have been undertaken by our Mechatronics researchers include: Actuators for artificial muscles, Automation and control, Biomimetic structures, Industrial solutions, including the development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Mechanical Design, Medical robotics, Motion control systems, Real-time embedded systems, Sensors and Smart materials microtechnologies for novel applications, such as wearable sensors.
