Objectives and Perspectives

Mechatronics Engineering BSc Program

Mechatronics ais relatively new branch of science and engineering and is defined as

the“combination of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, computer engineering,

software engineering, control engineering, and systems design engineering in order to

design and manufacture useful products. It is a multidisciplinary field of engineering, that is

to say it rejects splitting engineering into separate disciplines.

The objective of the program is to train good mechatronic engineers who must have

interdisciplinary knowledge and be skilled in a very wide scope of bordering and pervading

branches of technology, since it is a very difficult and demanding profession. Several market

surveys show that it is one of the most required professions nowadays and it will be even

more needful in the coming decades.

Our graduates will develop competence or acquire knowledge in the following areas:

- Mechanical engineering and material science,

- Electrical and electronic engineering,

- Computer engineering and computer science,

- Automated systems and control engineering,

- Telecommunication and optoelectronics,

- Robotics.
