Mechatronics Engineering Department

Nowadays, system engineering knowledge is needed to design many complex systems that include different subsystems and different scientific branches. For example, in the design of a satellite as a space system, different branches of engineering such as aerospace, electricity, computer, mechanics, materials, etc. are needed. The system engineering, by communication between different branches and macro-management of such complex projects, leads to the efficient progress of large projects. Mechatronic Engineering is actually an application of system engineering in electromechanical systems.

Mechatronic Engineering is a combination of mechanical, electronic, computer and control engineering. It tries to have an integrated look at systems consisting of mechanical-electronic-control and software components.

Mechatronics is used in important and attractive fields such as automation, robotics, machine vision, biomedical engineering, servo systems and precision instruments, control and measurement systems, automotive engineering, computer-aided machine control, expert systems, aerospace, etc. The purpose of using the mechatronic model in engineering is to create synergies in the quality of products and developed technologies.

Due to the increasing need of the industry to hire skilled workers in mechatronic engineering, training of specialists in this field has become more important. A mechatronics engineer must have interdisciplinary expertise, which means that mastering the basic principles of mechanical, electronic, computer and control engineering is essential for him because he must have the ability to design in different fields.

Currently, in a significant number of electrical and mechanical engineering faculties in the world, mechatronics orientation has been established at bachelor’s and higher levels.
