Title description
Mechatronics engineering is a multidisciplinary discipline that integrates mechanics, electronics, control and computer science for the development of intelligent and automated systems. Its application is key in sectors such as robotics, industrial automation, intelligent mobility and cyber-physical systems, among others.
The term “Mechatronics” was first coined in Japan in the 1970s, in the midst of the evolution of the first industrial robots and the development of technologies such as numerical control, manipulators and programmable robots. Since then, mechatronics has evolved to become the basis of the new generation of autonomous and connected systems, driven by artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0.
Nowadays, mechatronics not only encompasses robotics, but represents an integral vision for the design and development of advanced products and intelligent systems capable of adapting to the technological challenges of the future.
Objectives of the title
The Master’s Degree in Mechatronics Engineering offers a comprehensive and advanced training in the analysis, design and implementation of mechatronic systems in different environments.
Its multidisciplinary approach combines knowledge in mechanics, electronics, electrics, control and computer science, providing the necessary tools to develop intelligent products and systems.
Throughout the master’s degree, students acquire skills in both professional application and research, allowing them to approach the development of innovative solutions and the integration of new technologies in the field of mechatronics.
This training is based on a methodology that balances theoretical rigor with a strong practical orientation, encouraging analytical thinking and creativity in solving complex problems.

In-company internships
There are 900 extracurricular hours for internships in companies.
From the Subdirecció de Relacions amb l’Empresa de l’Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria Aeroespacial i Disseny Industrial it is facilitated to the students of this School the possibility of carrying out internships, TFG and TFM of quality in companies and institutions.
Research and access to doctorate
The degree completes the requirements for access to the PhD program in Design, Manufacturing and Management of Industrial Projects.
This doctoral program aims to achieve a series of fundamental objectives oriented to professional specialization and to encourage research in the field of industry for the design and development of new products, in their manufacture and in the management of industrial processes.
Academic exchange / agreements with other universities
The International Relations Sub-Directorate develops an important international relations activity. Every year hundreds of students have the opportunity to complete their training in a foreign institution. ETSIADI participates in a large number of cooperation programs, both at European and world level.
The duration of the internships has ranged from three months to nine months, allowing students to take master’s degree courses, do their Master’s thesis or a combination of both. These experiences have allowed students not only to deepen their technical training, but also to develop skills in an international environment, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, preparing them for the challenges of Industry 4.0 in an international context.

Master’s thesis
The TFM represents the last stage of the training. The subject matter can be proposed by both a teacher and the student him/herself. The focus can be professional or research oriented.
The character has to be multidisciplinary, along the lines of Mechatronics Engineering that combines the technological areas of control, mechanics, electronics, electronics and computer science. It is not necessary that all disciplines are present in the same proportion, but it is important that all of them are present in a certain way.
Collaborating companies and more
