Study Mechatronic Engineering at the Best University in Malaysia that's accredited by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM)
Mechatronic engineering is covers the design of automated machines such as robotics. Mechatronics Engineering is

a combination of mechanical engineering, electrical & electronics engineering and software engineering, but is a distinctly different discipline to all three.
Mechatronic engineering is the engineering discipline concerned with the research, design, implementation and maintenance of intelligent engineered products and processes enabled by the integration of mechanical, electronic, computer, and software engineering technologies”
Mechatronics engineering differs from automotive engineering in that they have a deep understanding of the performance analysis and design of complex machines.
It differs from mechanical engineering in that its practitioners understand how automations can be designed and integrated into a machine very effectively to achieve an outcome.
A mechatronics engineer is capable of thinking holistically about a mechatronic system, rather than focussing on certain domain specific elements such as the mechanical system or the software. An understanding of how to model a system from a power perspective (rather than thinking in terms of voltages or forces) is fundamental to this.

Many mechatronic engineers work with the electronic instrumentation and computer control systems which nearly all machinery relies on for efficient and reliable operation.
Mechatronic engineers build and design these systems and need expertise in computing and electronics, core mechanical engineering knowledge, and the ability to bring these together to make working systems which meet the safety and reliability levels.
Mechatronic engineers also have roles in project engineering, reliability engineering and power engineering where their cross- disciplinary knowledge gives them an edge on mechanical or electrical engineers.
Mechatronic engineers can work with electrical and mechanical systems together and solve problems that cross discipline boundaries.
Their strength in IT, computer hardware and networking as well as software also helps them to be very versatile problem solvers. Writing and testing software for specialised computer systems and micro-controllers forms a major part of the work of many mechatronic engineers.
At the most fundamental level lies the ability to design, model and test “simple” mechatronic systems comprising mechanical and electrical components connected to a single microcontroller or PLC.
An example is a DC motor connected to a gearbox driving a load mass with sensors to enable feedback control of position and

speed.
Mechatronics engineers are trained to have insight into how larger scale systems may be constructed though application of these fundamental skills. For example they are able to design more complex systems by networking microcontrollers together to achieve distributed control over a larger mechatronic system
Structured systematic design techniques are also important, together with conversation skills to jointly develop solutions with clients in terms of mechatronic engineering possibilities.
Knowing how to conduct rigorous systematic testing is also critically important.
Other areas of specific expertise relevant to the practice of Mechatronic engineering are found within the disciplines of Aeronautical, Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Communications Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, Electrical

Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering, Electronic engineering, Industrial Engineering, Instrumentation and Control Engineering, Manufacturing and Production Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering and Space Engineering.
Like all engineers, technical collaboration takes most of a mechatronic engineer’s working time. Mechatronic engineering, by its nature, involves a lot of collaboration with people working in other engineering disciplines.
The B. Eng (Hons) Mechatronics Engineering programme at Asia Pacific University is specifically designed to provide:
- High-quality undergraduate engineering education by providing students with a curriculum that is firmly grounded in Mechatronic engineering fundamentals.
- A study of basic engineering sciences and fundamentals of mechanical, electrical, electonics and computing engineering. Students will be to integrate these four diverse.
- The technical skills to design, analyse and test “intelligent” products or processes that incorporate suitable controller, sensor and mechatronic devices for robotics and automation.
Asia Pacific University is an Award-Winning University in Malaysia
The Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (A.P.U) is amongst Malaysia’s Premier Private Universities, and is

Asia Pacific University Engineering Degrees are fully accredited by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) which is a signatory to the Washington Accord.
This accreditation ensures that Asia Pacific University Engineering Graduates will have the following benefits in countries who are signatories of the Washington Accord:
- Opportunities to register as a Graduate Engineer with Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) or the relevant professional bodies in other countries who are signatories under the Washington Accord.
- Pathways to becoming a Professional or Chartered Engineer.
- Assurance that graduates are considered as having met international academic standards for engineering practice.
International Recognition for the B. Eng (Hons) Mechatronics Engineering programme at Asia Pacific University
- Mechatronics Engineering Lab at Asia Pacific University
Asia Pacific University Engineering Degrees are Accredited Professionally by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) and are therefore recognized internationally under the Washington Accord. Recognition under the Washington Accord allows for APU engineering programmes to be recognized by countries such as Australia, Canada, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States who are all signatories of the accord.
This allows APU graduates to be recognised in these countries for career opportunities towards achieving Professional/Chartered Engineer status or for further education progression.
Furthermore, many countries which are not yet signatories to the Washington Accord also use this as a benchmark in recognizing Engineering Degrees.
With this achievement, recognition under the Washington Accord enables APU Engineering graduates to work in any country in the world who are also a signatory to the Accord, without the need to re-qualify.
If they choose to work in Malaysia, APU graduates will have the opportunity to register as Graduate Engineers with Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), if they choose to work overseas in Washington Accord signatory countries; they can also register as Graduate Engineers. The recognition is of utmost importance to the engineering education in Malaysia as graduates from
