Minor Program in Mechatronics
Faculty of Engineering offers a Minor Program on Mechatronics for undergraduate students of the Faculty of Engineering. Mechatronics is a methodology and design philosophy which blends areas of technology involving analysis and design of the behaviour of systems of sensors, measurements, drives, actuators as well as their microprocessor based controls. A mechatronic system is multidisciplinary, embedding several fundamental disciplines; electrical and electronics, computer science and information technology and mechanical engineering with fundamental engineering design methodology. The main purpose of this program is to provide the successful and motivated students within broad knowledge of mechatronics that will enable them to practice their profession in an interdisciplinary manner.
