Course Overview
The B.Eng (Hons) Mechatronics Engineering degree at Bells University aims to produce skilled engineering professionals who can actively participate in and manage the executive design and development of mechatronics systems.
This industry- guided course aims to give students the chance to design or manage systems produced through a combination of skills from the fields of mechanical, electrical, computer and information technologies.
This flexibility helps to promote a large variety of possible applications, helping students to learn how to manage the demands of continuous evolution of technology as well as the job market.
The first two years of study will lay the common foundations in areas including mathematics, computing systems, mechanical, and electrical engineering, as well as information and telecommunication in the industrial automation sector.
The last three years of the study give the students in-depth knowledge in embedded systems, control system and various forms of non-linear complex systems.
Students also have the opportunity to consolidate their practical knowledge in the fourth year while undertaking an individual industrial attachment.
Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) of Mechatronics Engineering Programme
PEO1: Develop productive mindsets as Mechatronics Engineers, including supportive and leadership roles in multidisciplinary domain.
PEO2: Participate in life-long learning through the successful completion of advanced degrees, continuing education, certifications and/or other professional developments.
PEO3: Promote design, research, product implementation and services in the field of Mechatronics Engineering through strong technical, communication, and entrepreneurial skills.
PEO4: Provide the engineering industry and profession worldwide with engineering personnel ready to meet the skill-gap in modern engineering practice.
PEO5: Produce engineering personnel with safety-first concept in consonance with standard quality assurance policy in every engineering engagement.
B.Eng (Hons) Mechatronics Engineering is a 5-year Degree Programme.
Students undergo Students Works experience Programme (SWEP) for a period of three months at the end of their 200 level. They engage in three (3) and six (6) months of Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) in 300 & 400 level respectively which gives the student at least nine (9) months of working industrial experience before graduating from the University.
At 500 level, the students will undergo coursework and supervised projects in their areas of interest and present results orally before a panel of examiners, that is, by oral presentation and defense.
This course aims to produce industry-ready graduates able to make an immediate impact in the workplaces.
Partnerships with global automation and robotics companies help us to ensure that the programme is informed by the very latest demands of the sector.
Professional engineers have the chance to design and develop the systems of the future.
Your mechatronics engineering degree from Bells University of Technology will open a world of opportunity, and the skills developed will be sought across a wide range of industries.
For example, our graduates are having successful careers in the development of microcontroller-based embedded systems; robotics; integration of renewable energy sources and the design of the associated power conversion systems.
Alternatively, you might progress into the development of automation and control systems for various industrial processes; automotive electronics; the design of electrical machines and the development of guidance and control systems for unmanned intelligent underwater; or ground and aerial vehicles.
Undergraduate Admission Requirement

- C.E (Technical) with at least Credit in Mathematics, Biology and one other Science subject.
- National Diploma in any discipline in Engineering with at least an Upper Credit from a recognized University or Polytechnic.
Direct Entry (300 Level)
Direct Entry (300L) applicants are those who have attended a post-secondary institution or have completed fewer than 24 credit hours at a recognized university or college.
Direct entry applicants must have the following minimum requirement:
- Higher National Diploma in any discipline in Engineering with at least a Lower Credit from a recognized University or Polytechnic
Experiential Learning
Gaining relevant experience is an essential part of earning a B.Eng degree. This required program component will allow students to gain valuable work experience and career connections.
While support and guidance is available through the Engineering and Career Services to assist students with your job search, resume writing and interviewing skills, it is ultimately the responsibility of the student to satisfy the program requirement.
