Objectives of the program Mechatronics
is a combination of mechanics, electronics and computer engineering. Main
interest of this multidisciplinary engineering domain is
to design complex systems (from microsystems to vehicles) and to control them.
So, because of increasing complexity of products integrating several
technologies, a cross-disciplinary program in this
multidisciplinary domain oriented on a system approach lead to great career opportunities
The purpose
of the master program is to address several trends of a fast growing domain
offering to students a program answering to current and future mechanical and
electronical industrial needs.
The program begins with 3 semesters of courses and finishes with a 1 semester internship in industry or laboratory.  Educational context The international feature is more and more present in the mechatronics systems field. Therefore, student mobility is strongly encouraged. The "Mechatronics Systems" master is jointly proposed with the Technische Universität of Braunschweig (Germany), recognized in the mechatronics field and particularly in the design and fabrication of Microsystems, what enriched the offered program. According to their professional project, students will spend until one year in Germany, leading to a recognized international program. (à partir de 2010) Research environment, Partners Mechatronics systems are in increasing demand in the industrial field. For that reason, UTC and CETIM (Technical center of mechanical industries) signed a framework agreement to enhance their training, research and development in the field of mechatronics. A common mechatronics institute is in progress. Mechatronics systems are the also subject of emerging research subjects. The proposed program is supported by 3 laboratories having complementary research subjects and strong industrial partnerships:
 Mechatronics systems speciality
opens the door to innovative industrial sectors that integrate mechanical
components, actuators, sensors and embedded electronics in which a systems
engineering approach is more and more present, in an international context. Examples include the design
and validation of high technology or general public products, for example in the
microtechnics and microsystems domain, but also the transport sector
(aeronautics, automotive…). The proposed program in the "Mechatronics
Systems" speciality prepare for different professions needing cross-disciplinary
skills:
The mechatronics systems program prepares students for professional carers, but also allows opens up access to research careers with the possibility to earn a PhD in one of the three laboratories associated with the program in order to deepen knowledge acquired during the master program. During the PhD, it is possible to enter the French-German doctoral college (supported by the French German university since 2007), linked to mechatronics field, in which UTC and TU Braunschweig collaborates. It is also possible to obtain industrial grants to prepare PhD in partnership with industry (CIFRE). Requirements for admission Required level to access the first year of Master (M1) :
Required level to access the second year of Master (M2) :
Candidates must have a diploma in the following fields or in neighbouring domains. - Mechanics, Mechanical engineering, - Electical engineering, Automatic control, - Mechatronics, - Applied physics Knowledge of the English language is
necessary because specific courses in the mechatronics systems" master
program are in English.
