Curious about the tech that powers robotics, smart factories, and intelligent machines? This course is your launchpad. Engineering with Mechatronic Systems gives you the skills to design, build and optimise the smart, sustainable systems of the future — blending mechanics, electronics, computing, and control into powerful real-world solutions.
You won’t just learn the theory — you’ll do the doing. From automation and robotics to the Internet of Things, cybersecurity, and intelligent control systems, you’ll dive deep into the technologies shaping Industry 4.0. Along the way, you’ll explore how to design for sustainability, manage supply chains, and drive innovation from concept through to creation.
We emphasise sustainability and global responsibility, encouraging you to be socially responsible and inclusive engineers who act as trusted agents of public good.
Graduates are well-prepared to apply their theoretical and practical knowledge innovatively in real-world scenarios, making positive impacts in organisational developments.
You’ll gain a forward-looking education that aligns with the principles of Engineers 2030, preparing them to be socially responsible and inclusive engineers.
Get ready to take control (literally) as you explore the world of smart systems. Learn how sensors, actuators, and control systems work together to bring machines and devices to life. Analyse how machines sense, react, and make decisions. Design and simulate control systems, the kind that keep robots balanced, cars on course, and industrial systems running smoothly.
Using industry software such as MATLAB/Simulink and microcontroller platform (e.g. Arduino), you’ll build simulations, analyse system responses, and design control strategies. Through structured coding exercises and practical workshops, you’ll get comfortable working with feedback systems, transfer functions, and system stability.
By the end, you’ll be able to model dynamic systems, design and test controllers, and understand the role of sensors and actuators in smart, automated solutions. It’s a practical, project-based experience built around real tools and real challenges.

By the end, you’ll be able to model dynamic systems, design and test controllers, and understand the role of sensors and actuators in smart, automated solutions. It’s a practical, project-based experience built around real tools and real challenges.
You’ll start by building up your fundamental skills of dynamics, and develop your proficiency in modelling and simulation, along with your programming skills. No need to be an expert – we’ll help you get comfortable using programming tools like MATLAB to create smart, effective solutions. Exploring how motion, forces, and energy interact in physical systems, and how to simulate all of that with code.
You’ll work in a team to take on a real-life engineering scenario. Together, you’ll design, build, and present a working simulation, explaining your approach and showing off the code behind it.
By the end, you’ll be able to think like an engineer, build digital models of physical systems, and make decisions based on real life data. You won’t just understand the theory, you’ll put it into action. It’s hands-on, fast-moving, and focused on the kind of skills you’ll use in your future career.
You’ll be solving problems, designing products, and making big decisions as part of a team.
You’ll dig into the fundamentals of solid mechanics, materials science, and manufacturing but you won’t just study them. You’ll use them. You’ll choose materials, model your design with Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, run stress tests, and figure out how to make it – all while thinking about quality, cost, flexibility, safety, ethics, and sustainability.
Along the way, you’ll build serious skills in CAD, stress analysis, and design thinking. Get better at presenting ideas, working with others, and backing up your decisions with solid reasoning. Expect to be challenged, to inspire others, supported, and maybe even surprised by what you can create, break or make.
It’s fast-paced, practical, and packed with the kind of experience that makes you stand out. This is engineering the way it should be, hands-on, real-world, and all about bringing your ideas to life.
Undertaking a design challenge, you’ll demonstrate your leadership and impact in engineering. Working on a real-life global challenge, underpinned by the UN Sustainability Goals, you’ll cover environmental, ethical, commercial, social, governance and cultural aspects of engineering.
Reflecting on your strengths and contributions, you’ll develop your teamwork, research, communication and problem-solving skills. These key skills are important for developing your professionalism as an engineer.
In the second year of study your focus will shift from engineering fundamentals to mechatronics systems principles and their applications.
ASU London’s campus at Canada Water in London features purpose-built Makerspaces designed to foster creativity and collaboration. These spaces are equipped with everything needed for hands-on learning, from small prototyping and 3D printing to large-scale equipment. The Makerspaces are integral to the project-based learning approach at ASU London, allowing you to develop your ideas and grow your engineering skills. Our Makerspaces boast milling machines, 3D printers, CNC machines, IoT sensors, and Smart Wearables to create and enhance seamless, efficient, flexible and responsive manufacturing environment known as Industry 4.0.
