SLIIT Breaks New Ground in Engineering Education
SLIIT, the leading higher education institute in the country has, in yet another groundbreaking initiative, introduced a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Mechatronics Engineering degree from Curtin University. Students may now complete this prestigious Curtin University Mechatronics Engineering degree in Sri Lanka or transfer to a Curtin campus after one or two years of study at SLIIT International.
Curtin University is ranked within the top 1% of universities globally according to the highly reputable Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) 2020; this makes Curtin University the highest ranked university to offer Computing and Engineering degree programmes for completion in Sri Lanka.
Students pursuing the Curtin University Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Mechatronics Engineering at SLIIT International will gain comprehensive theoretical knowledge in the key disciplines of mechanics, electronics, and computer systems. The students will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and develop practical skills through a series of projects in areas such as robotics, automation, industrial automation, and machine control. Further, the students will receive industrial training facilitated by SLIIT.
Mechatronics plays a key role in the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), an area which is gaining new ground worldwide. Rapid advances in automation applications such as self-driving cars are propelling the demand for mechatronic engineers for their expertise in mechanical, electronics and computer systems engineering; accordingly, graduates of mechatronics engineering will have employment opportunities in a wide range of industries.
Apart from Mechatronics Engineering, the Curtin University Engineering Degree programmes on offer at SLIIT International include Civil and Construction Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.
Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Civil and Construction Engineering is fully accredited by Engineers Australia and opens up a wide range of career options allowing graduates to solve fundamental global challenges as an engineer; the graduates may work in projects related to railways, water supply, wastewater treatment, tunnels and underground construction, power, offshore structures, commercial and industrial buildings, etc.
Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering is gaining special significance as the role of electronic communication and embedded systems (Internet of Things or IoT) become crucial in the rapidly progressing information society. The triple challenge of climate change, security of energy supplies, and affordability further increases the demand for electrical and electronic engineers.
Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Mechanical Engineering is designed to meet the global demand for Mechanical Engineers who assist the society to harness the energy and forces that exist in nature. The graduates of the programme, possessing the knowledge, skills, and adaptability to be successful in the workplace, will be sought after locally and internationally across a range of engineering enterprises.
All the degree programmes are offered full-time over a duration of four years. SLIIT International welcomes prospective students to join the programs; registrations are now open for the July 2021 intake. Email curtin@sliit.lk or call +94 76 555 89 89 for further information.
