General information
The Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering offers two
undergraduate degree programmes, namely the BEng (Mechanical) programme and the BEng (Mechatronic) programme. Both degrees can be obtained within
a minimum of four years of full-time study.
As both our
programmes are fully accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa
(ECSA), our graduates can register with ECSA as Professional Engineers after
three years of applicable industrial experience. According to the Washington
Accord our programmes are internationally recognised in countries like the
United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, the USA, Australia, etc.
Graduates from our department's programmes have completed Masters and
Doctoral studies at leading universities worldwide.

Mechatronic Engineering
Mechatronic engineering is a new focus area in engineering that promises to become even more important in the future, both in South Africa as well as internationally. With automation as the current key to productivity, the need for mechatronics (which makes it possible to generate simpler, more economical, reliable and versatile systems) increases by the day.
