The main qualities that are needed to study Mechatronics Engineering program:
Students of Mechatronics program will able be to address engineering and industrial issues using mathematics, physics, mechanics, and electronics. They will acquire technical knowledge in mechanical design, computer-aided design, robotics, and manufacturing technologies. They will additionally acquire technical knowledge in digital design, microcontroller operation, interfacing, and programming, sensors, actuators, drive systems, control theory, and data transfer. They will be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to build and evaluate engineering systems for improved operation, performance, and control. Graduates will be well prepared to undertake additional studies and research on a national and worldwide scale.
The Educational Philosophy
Because the industries in which Mechatronics engineers work are so varied, you can expect that your education and training to become a mechanical engineer is also very broad. Mechanical engineering is also becoming more and more intertwined with computer and electrical engineering as in the areas of mechatronics and robotics. Mechanical engineering is a broad, but very promising field for those who are considering what kind of career they want to choose.
Overview of the Program
In Mechatronics specialization, you will study a program that prepares you 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 are Robotics, automated manufacturing systems, home appliances, defense systems, drones, airplanes autopilot systems, autonomous cars, and much more. Our curriculum includes instruction in mechanical engineering, electronic and electrical engineering, computer and software engineering, and control engineering. Significant hands-on activities are also included through advanced labs experiments, courses’ projects, and industrial field training.
Added value for studying Mechatronics program in terms of skills
In our ME curriculum, basic sciences and engineering fundamentals represent a solid foundation which are not only a must for studying and understanding the different engineering disciplines, but it is also needed to help the graduate for solving the new related problems arising in the future. Nontechnical subjects are given the enough importance in order to enable the graduates to work in teams and project management, communicate effectively, and respect the engineering ethics. Well balance between theoretical education and practice (Laboratory experiments, project based learning courses, and industrial training) is carefully considered in designing our ME curriculum.
