The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)- (Mechatronics) is an

interdisciplinary program that combines mechanical engineering with electrical engineering and computer science. A
typical mechatronic system senses signals from the environment, processes them to generate data, then transforms
that data into forces, motions and actions. Mechatronics has
broad applications, for example, in the design and operation
of intelligent products and systems such as autonomous
