Mechatronics Engineering Undergraduate Program (B.S)

Frequently Asked Questions

Mechanical Engineering and Electrical and Electronic Engineering departments jointly run the Mechatronics Engineering Program. Mechatronics Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.. Program graduates are equipped with an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering principles, an ability to design and conduct experiments as well as to analyze and interpret data, an ability to design a component, system or process to meet an objective, an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams, an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems, an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities, and global issues related to engineering, an ability to communicate effectively, the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context and a knowledge of contemporary issues. Graduating students as modern, inquisitive and creative engineers is another goal of the program.

General Information

The Mechatronics Engineering undergraduate program aims to satisfy the academic goals as set by the Faculty of Engineering that applies to all its departments. Consistent with these goals, the educational objectives of the program can be stated as follows: Provide a firm foundation in mathematics, engineering and basic sciences as required by the engineering discipline. Provide a selection of interdisciplinary and general education courses that will enhance students’ understanding of the economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal, and cultural impact of their engineering solutions and/or decisions. Provide the essential tools and fundamental background of the disciplines of Mechatronics Engineering. Encourage self-learning, life-long learning, and help develop a strong sense of responsibility. Provide students with a satisfactory level of competence in the analysis and solution of engineering problems.

Facilities

Students studying the program are offered high tech laboratories and modern seminar rooms and classrooms. Laboratories operating under the Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Mechanical Engineering departments are also offered to Mechatronic Engineering undergraduate program students. CADCAM, computer, dynamics, automotive and Autocad laboratories are available for teaching, projects and research, and they closely integrate the processes associated with design, manufacturing, and robotics. Apart from an academic advisor for each student, lab assistants are available to assist students. Along with the university library, students may benefit from libraries housed by Mechanical Engineering and Electrical and Electronic Engineering Departments.

Career Opportunities

The graduates can select from a wide spectrum of industries for career choices. They can find jobs as mechatronics specialists and also may contribute in variety of roles including project planner, product designer, design engineer, software engineer and so forth. Machine and tool design and production, biomedical and medicine technology, energy production, mining and agriculture are only a few of the areas mechatronics engineers can pursue employment opportunities.
