Mechatronic Engineering
Introduction
Mechatronic systems engineers use precision mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering, as well as math and computer science, to design the enhanced products, systems, and manufacturing processes demanded by today's marketplace. Connecting the disciplines of mechanics, electronics, computer science and control engineering is the core competence of modern engineering. Thus the Mechatronics curriculum provides a broad insight into state-of-the-art methods for this interdisciplinary combination reinforced by research projects carried out at the university or in industry. Using advanced scientific and engineering knowledge, mechatronic systems engineers combine mechanical, electric, and electronic subsystems to create single controllable systems. The automobile today contains over 100 computers – and is just one of the many modern machines, from clothes dryers and dishwashers to auto-focus cameras and ATMs, that relies on mechatronic systems. Mechatronic systems engineers also play an indispensable role in industrial robotics and the development of autonomous (unmanned) vehicles, which can function as everything from space probes to mobile military reconnaissance units. A future career is possible in a wide array of branches including aviation engineering, automotive industry, ship building, biomedical devices engineering and electronic entertainment.
This program will prepare students to lead the introduction of new technologies and operating practices in advanced manufacturing and a range of other technical industries including mechanical systems design, mechatronics and micro- and nano-technology.
Master Degree Curriculum in Mechatronic Engineering
The Master of Mechatronic Engineering requires completion of 32 credits, with 9 credits in the core courses, 9 credits in the specialty courses, 6 credits in the elective courses and 2 credits for the seminar. The program requires completion of a thesis of 6 credits. Admitted students with a different undergraduate degree are also required to complete a few credits of leveling courses which prepare such students for success in the Master of Mechatronic Engineering, these courses do not count toward the degree.
A minimum GPA of 14 over 20 must be maintained for graduation.
Leveling Courses (not applicable to degree)
The Master in Mechatronic Engineering assumes a B.Sc. degree in related Engineering fields. After admission any student holding any other undergraduate will be required to complete the leveling courses, determined by the advisory board of the program, that are designed to provide a back ground for the Master courses. These leveling courses are not counted for graduate credit towards the Master degree.
Students must write and defend a final thesis . The curriculum is intended to be completed in four semesters. This program is taught in English.
Core Courses: 3 courses required; 9 credits
The core curriculum is designed to provide students with a deep and broad foundation that serves throughout their career.

Specialty courses: 3 courses required; 9 credits
The purpose of this component of the curriculum is to provide each Mechatronic Engineering student the opportunity to acquire knowledge and capabilities in one or more specialized topics which extend the fundamentals developed in the core courses to more advanced or specialized areas relevant to Mechatronic Engineering practice. This also permits the student to develop a concentration or option in a more specialized technical area.
