Introduction
Mechatronics is about today’s world. It’s where electronics, computers and mechanics converge to bring the automated devices we use in our everyday lives, both in the home and at work. As society advances technologically, demands have been increasing for mechanical devices with embedded electronics, sensors, actuators, and related systems.
Mechatronics engineering is strongly based on Mechanical Engineering but is a distinctly different discipline. The program provides an interdisciplinary, tightly focused approach to designing automated devices, preparing professionally trained Mechatronics engineers who can have an immediate impact in industry. Mechatronics Programs combine core undergraduate courses in mechanical, selected electronics and software engineering with several option-specific courses in an interdisciplinary approach. Graduates enjoy professional skills in classical machine design and analysis, as well as electronic instrumentation, computer control systems, and software engineering.
As such, Mechatronics Program Graduates are concerned with the design, automation, and operational performance of electro-mechanical systems. They typically use their skills and knowledge about mechanical and electronic processes as well as computers to develop new solutions to industrial problems. In addition, they often become involved in providing technical advice or assistance relating to the creation of new products.
To be a pioneer for professional engineers in the field of mechatronics engineering, and to have the graduates of the program with outstanding competencies in technological and scientific research and innovation, entrepreneurship, management, and technology development for the benefit of our country
The department is committed to preparing engineers in the field of mechatronics engineering, with scientific and practical competencies and capable of research, innovation, and management, with a commitment to human and ethical values, which contribute to the progress of the country, defend the environment, and affirm our national identity.
- Developing the levels of educational services provided, which are represented in: faculty members, courses, teaching methods, training, and available educational resources. And that this development corresponds to the progress made in the field of information technology and its applications, to the extent that guarantees the graduation of cadres capable of meeting the needs of the labor market.
- The mechatronics engineering program provides graduates with the skills necessary to design a solution to a specific problem using engineering components (hardware and software) in order to achieve the desired goals.
- The graduates’ aptly contribution as individuals or as work teams in solving engineering problems and the ability to communicate effectively within the team and with clients.
- Develop graduates’ knowledge of current technologies important to mechatronics engineering. They are expected to gain proficiency in the use of modern engineering techniques and tools, with a focus on the role of design, manufacturing, and the use of intelligent control systems in the development of the national industry.
- Providing advanced education in mechatronics engineering for technical and non-technical disciplines.
- Appreciate and understand the impact of mechatronics engineering and technology in a global and social context including environmental issues.
- Develop students’ and alumni’s understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities.
- Demonstrate the graduates’ ability to engage in lifelong learning in their profession as well as contemporary issues related to their profession and the society in which they live and work.
- Graduates from the department will have the ability to continue their education in leading graduate programs in specialized engineering fields to graduate researchers and experts.
- Graduates from the department will have the ability to assume leadership and leadership positions.
