MECHATRONICS, ROBOTICS PRESENTATION

context

Today, every industrial sector needs to strengthen its skills in mechatronics: transport (automobile, aeronautics, railways), medical, defence and so on. Mechanics, electronics and computer science have been combined and the ensuing progress in these three sectors has enabled industry to evolve product quality considerably. To optimise this innovative technology, efficient team work is essential in order to coordinate the three sectors and successfully manage the different constraints. Career possibilities will be varied ranging from technical expert to technical sales engineer.

3-year programme

professional skills

MASTERING FUNDAMENTAL TECHNOLOGY OF THE 3 FIELDS: COMPUTING, MECHANICS, ELECTRONICS

•  Understanding and/or designing in the 3 fields (specifying the main field)
• Acquiring in-depth practical skills in the workplace in one or more of the fields
• Working with the 3 fields interactively

UNDERSTANDING AND ANALYSING FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Analysis stage: identifying functional or organic building-blocks
• Design stage: drawing up technical specifications

IMPLEMENTING INTEGRATION PROCESSES

• Combining the different technologies 
• Optimising design (reducing the number of interfaces and components the most effectively)

DESIGNING NEW ELEMENTS OR SOFTWARE

• Identifying future necessary elements and how they will interact 
• Identifying new functions in the main field/fields 
• Optimising solutions

IMPLEMENTING SOLUTIONS

Use of industrial approach (quality, cost, scheduling, durability, maintenance considerations)

• Develop customers/supplier relationships (internal or external)  
• Take into consideration sustainability (economic, environmental & social)
