Mechatronics technology program

This program is a part of technological industries dept.

Program brief:
Mechatronics technology system requires a knowledge in mechanics, electronics, control and computer basically.

Mechatronics systems sometimes use intellectual technology as it can imitate the human thinking technique. Today mechatronics enter to almost all sets as it not just competent to robots or factories, it helps to have a better product as in electronic fuel injection system, ABS brakes of cars, house machines such as automated washers or even in kids toys.

Mechatronics technology applications:
1- use programmable logic controller-PLC in industrial systems.
2- supervisory control data acquisition systems (SCADA)
3- building management systems (BMS)
4- Automation such as in robots
5- mechanisms- servo
6- remote control systems
7- cars as in sub- systems designs as brakes systems control
8- computers such as CDs mechanism design

Program description:
