Diploma in Mechatronic Engineering

Embark on a transformative journey with APU University Malaysia Diploma in Mechatronic Engineering program. Explore a myriad of invaluable insights and skills, detailed below:

What you will learn in a glance?

The Mechatronics program offers a comprehensive curriculum that equips students with knowledge and skills in instrumentation, circuit analysis, mathematics, electronics, digital systems, material science, robotics, programming languages, industrial management, safety, ethics, entrepreneurship, CAD analysis, and thermo-fluid dynamics.

Semester 1 focuses on instrumentation, control processes using sensor technology, circuit analysis using Kirchhoff's law and network theorems, and software-based engineering drawing.

Semester 2 builds upon the knowledge from the first semester, with a deeper study of mathematics, introduction to analogue electronics, and enhanced programming skills with Python.

In Semester 3, students continue studying mathematics, learn about logic circuits and their applications in digital systems, and explore number systems, Boolean algebra, and Karnaugh map techniques for constructing simplified digital circuits.

Semester 4 introduces material science, where students apply principles of chemistry and physics to understand the structure and properties of materials. Additionally, robotics is taught, covering the design, construction, operation, and control of robots and computer systems.

Semester 5 includes modules on programming languages, industrial management, safety, ethics, and entrepreneurship, fostering a creative mindset and innovative thinking.

In Semester 6, students utilize CAD software to analyze complex engineering systems, and they delve into thermo-fluid dynamics, which includes thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer for efficient production processes and product/system design.

Semester 7 involves a 16-week internship or industrial training, providing practical experience and preparing students for a smooth transition into the working environment.
