Is able to develop innovative engineering ideas by applying innovative design and numerical modelling methods;
Is able to assess the ethical, legal and commercial aspects of engineering activities and the environmental requirements while implementing mechatronics projects.

Activities of teaching and learning:

The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence.

Methods of assessment of learning achievements:

The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components).

Study subjects (modules):

Adaptive Mechanics and Mechatronic Systems, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Experimental Mechanics, Methods of Research and Quality Control, Microelectromechanical Systems Design, Computer-Aided Control of Technological Equipment, Dynamics of Mechatronic Systems, Integrated CAD/CAE/CAM Systems, Research Project 1, Models of Multiphysics Systems, Programmable Logical Controllers, Research Project 2, Robotics, Master’s Degree Final Project.
Electives: Automation of Production Processes, Virtual Prototyping, Design and Production of Composite Structures, Computer-Aided Analysis of Structures.
