Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering - College of Engineering and Smart Computing
Mechatronics engineering specialization means integrating and integrating both mechanical engineering and electronic engineering, in addition to computer programming and control engineering within a unified framework with the aim of designing and developing devices, machines and equipment that are characterized by speed, accuracy and distinctive performance, including smart devices, machines and systems that contain motors to move mechanical parts, microcontroller or computer to control the movement of parts, measurement devices and sensors to monitor the state of the system and its movement, and electronics and electrical circuits to link the parts of the system to each other. The study plan has been developed to suit the rapid technological development, especially in the fields of programming, artificial intelligence and modern control systems. What distinguishes this specialization is the graduate’s wide fields of work, including: (industrial production lines, smart systems and machines such as robots, CNC machines and 3D printing machines). This branch of engineering has become an important requirement globally and locally in many fields that integrate mechanical, electrical and electronic systems, computerized systems, and synchronous and asynchronous smart systems.
