Mechatronics Engineering Program
The mechatronics engineering major qualifies the student to master the concepts and techniques related to mechatronic systems in their various aspects (mechanics, electronics, control, materials, and robotics), and the ability to analyze, design, and implement integrated electromechanical systems.
The program consists of a set of interrelated courses with prerequisite relationships, integrated from the perspective of meeting the intended learning outcomes. The program spans five years and consists of two consecutive phases:
- Foundation Phase
- Specialization Phase
Aims
The Foundation Phase aims to provide students with the following:
- A solid foundation in mathematics and physics that allows them to continue their education and acquire the knowledge and skills targeted in the specialization phase within the framework of preparing them as engineers in the field of mechatronics engineering.
- A set of general techniques and skills that support their qualification as future engineers, with good knowledge of two foreign languages, especially English, which enables them to deal easily with foreign references.
The Specialization Phase aims to qualify engineers who are:
- Proficient in the concepts and technologies related to the design of mechatronic systems and the automation of industrial machines of all kinds, and have the ability to design and implement systems with integrated and precise control, so that they are capable of performing multiple tasks, such as fixed and mobile industrial robots.
- Distinguished by their ability to develop innovative product designs and introduce innovative improvements to work methods. They are also characterized by their ability to understand the work environment with its administrative and economic dimensions and deal with and adapt to it in a way that supports their subsequent career path as leading engineers through effective dealing with this environment.
Intended learning outcomes
The student who successfully completes this program will be able to:
- Understand the principles and how mechatronic systems work with their various components, enabling him to absorb the continuous development in related fields.
- Identify methodologies and methods for designing precision mechanical machines.
- Understand traditional and advanced modeling and control methods and how to apply them to different mechatronic systems.
- Identify the basic concepts and methods that will help him understand his work environment with its administrative and economic dimensions.
- Design and implement electromechanical systems with integrated and precise control capable of performing multiple tasks, in a way that achieves the requirements, taking into account the functional, technical and economic conditions.
- Use computers and modern technologies in designing electromechanical systems and simulating their behavior.
- Use various measuring devices, and conduct measurement operations and statistical processing of their results and express them correctly.
