Mechatronics Technology Program

  This program is a part of the Technology Industries Department.

Program Summary

Mechatronics technology systems require basic knowledge in mechanics, electronics, control systems, and computer science.

Mechatronics systems sometimes utilize intellectual technology, as they can mimic the manner in which humans think. Today, mechatronics is integrated into almost all devices. It’s not limited to robots or factories; it contributes to improving products, as seen in electronic fuel injection systems, ABS brakes in automobiles, household appliances like washing machines, and even children’s toys.

Applications of Mechatronics Technology:

  1. Use of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) in industrial systems.

  2. Supervisory Data Acquisition systems (SCADA).

  3. Building Management Systems (BMS).

  4. Automation, such as in robotics.

  5. Mechanisms – servo.

  6. Remote control systems.

  7. Cars, such as in the design of subsystems like braking systems.

  8. Computer systems, such as the design of CD-ROM drives.
