What you will study
What you study
This is the Mechatronic Control Engineering specialisation of the MSc in Engineering in Energy Engineering at Aalborg University. It is taught in English and takes two years.
The programme covers the scientific principles and technologies behind computer-controlled machines and processes. The focus is on the synergies in the design process, where mechanics, electronics and embedded computers are developed together rather than one at a time.
The register description frames the field this way: functionality that used to sit in mechanics, with complicated linkages and cams, has moved into electronics and embedded computers that control small actuators. A car engine is the example given, packed with electronic control features.
You work with proper mechanical design principles, embedded computer control hardware and software, sensors for measuring the variables you care about, and actuation technologies. The topics listed include designing and controlling wind turbine systems, developing and controlling wave energy systems, developing mechatronics and mechatronic systems such as robots and segways, and controlling advanced energy systems of all kinds.
