Mechanical Engineering, (Intelligent Mechatronics)

Become an international expert on Mechanical Engineering!The Bachelor of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (Intelligent Mechatronics) programme develops technology industry experts with a specialisation in mechatronics. Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that focuses on the integration of mechanical, hydraulical, pneumatical, electrical engineering and digital control systems.At the Savonia University of Applied Sciences mechatronics is studied with machines such as mini excavators to which students can design new parts or systems. Other examples of mechatronics are industrial robots and miniature smart factories.  These will also become familiar to Mechanical Engineering students at Savonia UAS.The degree programme qualifies engineers to work in high technology companies working on international technology projects. The duties of a mechanical engineering graduate fall within the fields of mechanical engineering and control system. Engineer’s responsibilities may include planning, machine design, product development, production development, manufacturing, procurement, resource planning, system development, supply chain management, management, service chain management, maintenance and other industrial-related activities.In addition, to acquiring industrial engineering know-how, an important part of the programme focuses on developing an international competence, learning how to operate effectively in a variety of interpersonal networks, and cultivating communication, social, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. The goal is to educate high-quality team players instead of individual autonomous workers.This programme has strong roots in the North Savo region. Engineers have been educated here since 1886. This means that the programme is highly networked with local businesses.
