Mechatronics is the collaborative application of mechanical, electronic, control, and computer engineering. Mechatronic Engineering is a rapidly developing discipline of engineering. The global need for mechatronic goods and systems, as well as qualified Mechatronic engineers, is constantly expanding. Smart sensors, actuators, microprocessors, microcontrollers, and computer-aided design tools all help to improve automation and control in a variety of settings. Engineers working on those systems must have a solid understanding of the various components of the system. The introduction of novel sensors, actuators, and control systems has led to an increase in research and development activity in the field of Mechatronics.

Modern industrial systems have evolved from pure mechanical or electromechanical to completely automated and digital ones. As a result, knowledge from multiple disciplines is required for proper understanding and operation in those settings. As a result, the demand for Mechatronics education is increasing as more goods and systems incorporate mechanical and electronic components. Examples include the manufacturing industry, automobile systems, consumer appliances, and robots. The syllabus for the Master of Engineering in Mechatronics program was carefully created with the program’s interdisciplinary nature in mind. The M.E. Mechatronics curriculum consists of a combination of theoretical and experimental work, together with research. Students will have access to experimental facilities through the laboratories listed below:

  1. Mechatronics Laboratory.
