engineering training in South Africa. We are the first institution to offer a full degree programme in
Mechatronics. In 2006 our name was changed to the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic
Engineering. In this environment of world-class research and teaching innovation, our alumni\/students
are equipped for modern engineering challenges.<\/p>\n\n
