Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering – Mechatronics

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering – Mechatronics at Canadian University Dubai is a four-year interdisciplinary engineering program that combines electrical, mechanical, and control engineering to design intelligent automated and robotic systems. It suits students interested in robotics, automation, smart manufacturing, and Industry 4.0 technologies, with a strong balance of theory, laboratory work, and applied projects.

Curriculum structure

Year 1:
Students develop essential engineering foundations through Calculus I & II, Engineering Physics, and Programming I, building analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Supporting courses in engineering communication and basic computing introduce technical reporting and algorithmic thinking, while early labs familiarise students with fundamental electrical and programming concepts.

Year 2:
The second year strengthens core engineering knowledge with courses such as Electrical Circuits I, Electronics I, and Microprocessors and Microcontrollers, alongside Mechanics of Materials. Students learn how electrical components, mechanical structures, and embedded systems interact, supported by laboratory work focused on circuit analysis, sensing, and basic automation.

Year 3:
In the third year, students focus on system integration and control through Control Systems, Digital Signal Processing, and Mechatronics Systems Design. Modules like Electric Machines and Electro-Pneumatic and Hydraulic Control Circuits connect theory to real industrial applications, enabling students to model, analyse, and control dynamic systems.

Year 4:
The final year emphasizes professional practice with advanced courses such as Programmable Logic Controllers and Computer Integrated Manufacturing, alongside a two-semester Graduation Project. Students design and implement a complete mechatronic system, often complemented by an Internship, preparing them for engineering practice or postgraduate study.
