Welcome to our Department. We invite you to share in the exciting opportunities that we have to offer. Please contact us if you have any queries.
The Faculty of Engineering was established in 1944 with three engineering departments of which Mechanical Engineering was one.
In 2006 the name of the Department changed to that of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, because the department is the home of the Mechatronics programme since 2001. Have a look at some of our past awards.

Greetings and a warm welcome from our Departmental Chair, Prof Johan Van der Spuy
Are you interested in science and technology? Are you innovative and self-motivated? Do you have an above average mathematics aptitude and are you a strong rational thinker? These qualities are ideal if you want to choose Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronic Engineering as a career.
Mechanical engineering is characterised by the field’s involvement in structures, motion and transfer of energy. Mechanical engineers are responsible for the design, development, production and marketing of, for example, machines and machine elements, vehicles, aeroplanes, vessels, missiles, cooling systems, cooling towers and engines.
Mechatronic engineering is a new focus area in engineering that promises to become even more important in the future, both in South Africa as well as internationally. With automation as the current key to productivity, the need for mechatronics (which makes it possible to generate simpler, more economical, reliable and versatile systems) increases by the day.
The following Postgraduate Programmes are available:
Most of the modules will be offered as block modules. Some modules will be offered as 2 compulsory blocks and some modules as 1 block. Please view the module schedule carefully.
