97 of such systems. Themobile robotics module is entirely project-based and embodies the key principles of mechatronic engineering. It is organised around a specific robotic design challenge and will give you an opportunity to integrate and expand your knowledge in several different core areas: digital and analogue electronics, mechanics, software development and control systems. AutomatedManufacture This area allows you to develop an understanding of howelectronics, embedded systems and software are used in the automation of manufacturing. Project-based Learning Youwill complete various projects during your 4 years. Projects are designed to developmechatronic skills and awareness culminating inmajor individual projects in Year 4. The projects will normally include elements of research, design, component sourcing, construction, testing and documentation. All projectsmust be based on at least 2 of the 3 coremechatronic elements (namely, mechanical, electronic and software design components). Students have the option to undertake an integratedMasters fromYear 3, subject to achieving aH2.2 or higher in Years 1 and 2. INTRAWork Placement In Year 3 you undertake a 6month paid work placement (INTRAor 10months if you choose to do an extra year for a masters). This is usually with a business in Ireland, but opportunitiesmay arise abroad and there are also some research positions withinDCU. For more information, please visit dcu.ie/intra. WhatWill I Study?
