Objectives and competencies
"You will develop the skills to automate and optimize processes, manage maintenance tasks, implement improvements in production equipment and develop intelligent solutions".
We live in a world in which technology is advancing ever more rapidly. We look for devices, products or machines that make life easier for us, in the workplace and in everyday life.
In the Mechatronics Engineering Degree you will be trained to develop, assemble, maintain and optimize products, systems, machines, installations or industrial processes integrating different functions and making use of different mechanical, electronic or automation tools.
In addition, you will learn in a practical way, applying the knowledge you acquire to real environments, working side by side with companies and participating in their projects from the outset.
In this way, you will be able to offer solutions with greater added value, more advanced and innovative, achieving solutions that respond to technical specifications from an intelligent systems perspective, integrating different engineering specialties.
So, after graduating you will have the necessary skills to:
DEALING WITH MAINTENANCE, ASSEMBLY AND FIXTURE ACTIVITIES
You will tackle and optimize assembly, setup, assistance and maintenance activities for industrial installations, machinery and mechatronic systems.
DESIGN MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS
You will be able to design and develop mechatronic products, equipment and systems that meet the established technical, economic and safety requirements.
UNDERTAKE INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION PROJECTS
You will implement and materialize automation and control projects for industrial processes and flexible systems, through the integration of hardware and software.
COORDINATE TECHNICAL TEAMS
You will be able to technically manage people and work teams in assembly, commissioning, assistance and maintenance activities of facilities and production systems.
IMPROVE INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS
You will be able to monitor and optimize industrial production processes, interpreting and controlling different system parameters.
INTEGRATE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
You will control, integrate and program electronic components in production systems and equipment.
The learning outcomes achieved in this degree are in line with Level 2 of the MECES (Spanish Framework of Higher Education Qualifications).
Students who meet the requirements set out in Decree 47/2012 of 3 April on ‘‘Recognition of official studies carried out in the Basque Country and exemption from accreditation with degrees and linguistic certificates in the Basque language’,you will be able to obtain exemption from accreditation of the level equivalent to C1 (EGA).
Requirements for studying Mechatronic Engineering
- I have always liked robots and all types of machines
- I enjoy IT and computers
- I love numbers, mathematics and physics
- I like order and I am somewhat of a perfectionist
- I am not scared of challenges, what's more, solving them is what motivates me
- I enjoy finding out how the things we all use are made
Recognise yourself? If so, the Mechatronics degree is the ideal choice for you, as it combines various fields such as IT, electronics, mechanics or automation, integrating them into a multidisciplinary engineering.
