Mechatronics Engineering is a synergistic integration of various engineering fields i.e., Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Computer, and Control. Mechatronics is a significant stage in the evolutionary process of modern engineering. Engineers and scientists from all walks of life and fields of study can contribute to Mechatronics Engineering. As engineering and science boundaries become less well defined, students will seek a multidisciplinary education with a strong design component. Advances in traditional disciplines fuel the growth of Mechatronics systems by providing “enabling technologies”, which mostly include:

• Advanced Embedded Systems and Image Processing Techniques
• Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks
• Nano and Micro-Electromechanical Systems (NEMS and MEMS)
• Data Acquisition Systems and Smart Sensors
• Humanoid and Bio-Inspired Robotics

The department aims to teach and train students how to select from a wide spectrum of career choices and contribute to industry in a variety of roles. It also aims to develop skills to design and execute different Mechatronics projects and formulate processes and techniques to carry such design problems effectively. The Mechatronics Engineering graduates are equipped with the knowledge of different technological domains.

The Department offers BSc and MS Engineering Programs in Mechatronics Engineering. These programs are designed to provide in-depth knowledge of the fundamental theories, design, analysis and operation of advanced mechatronics systems, and to enable graduates to do useful research in this field. Categorically, the program imparts education and research techniques in the field of Automation, Control, Intelligent Systems, and Robotics.

Field of Mechatronics engineering mainly deals with the design, implementation and improvement of high-tech products and systems. It is expected that Mechatronics engineers will have better opportunities in industrial world with every passing year. They could find themselves in industry engaged with maintenance and operation of plant equipment such as boilers, compressors, turbines, instrumentation, automation and control of advanced industrial processes using such tools as PLC and microcontroller-based control systems, process simulation for plant alterations, defense and R&D applications, engineering management, or diversity of related extents.

In industry, is currently an increasing demand for technical managers with knowledge in business subjects – so called “Mechatronics Managers”. Mechatronics managers possess the core skills of mechanical engineers and electrical engineers as well as management and business. Their knowledge enables them to solve a wide range of mechanical, electrical and software problems, allowing them to participate in and lead multidisciplinary design teams.

Robotics, Manufacturing, Automotive Engineering, Aerospace, and Medical are just a few of industries that are promoting from developments in the field of Mechatronics. These industries now look for graduates that have a broader engineering contextual including Electronic and Mechanical and IT skills. Graduates of this specialization are expected to secure positions such as Graduate Engineers, Development Engineers and Project Engineers.
