Program Overview

About Mechatronics Engineering Program

The Mechatronics Engineering program is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to address engineering and industrial issues using mathematics, physics, mechanics, and electronics. Students will acquire technical knowledge in mechanical design, computer-aided design, robotics, and manufacturing technologies, as well as digital design, microcontroller operation, interfacing, and programming.

The Educational Philosophy

Mechatronics engineers work in a variety of industries, and as such, their education and training must be broad and comprehensive. Mechanical engineering is becoming increasingly intertwined with computer and electrical engineering, particularly in areas such as mechatronics and robotics. This field is promising for those considering a career in engineering.

Overview of the Program

The Mechatronics specialization prepares students to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development, maintenance, and operational evaluation of computer-controlled electro-mechanical systems and products with embedded electronics, sensors, and actuators. Examples of these systems include robotics, automated manufacturing systems, home appliances, defense systems, drones, airplanes autopilot systems, and autonomous cars. The curriculum includes instruction in mechanical engineering, electronic and electrical engineering, computer and software engineering, and control engineering, with significant hands-on activities through advanced lab experiments, courses' projects, and industrial field training.

Added Value for Studying Mechatronics Program

The ME curriculum provides a solid foundation in basic sciences and engineering fundamentals, which are essential for studying and understanding different engineering disciplines. The program also emphasizes nontechnical subjects, such as teamwork, project management, effective communication, and respect for engineering ethics. A well-balanced approach to theoretical education and practice is carefully considered in designing the ME curriculum.
