Mechatronics Engineering BSc and MSc programs

Mechatronics is relatively new branch of science and engineering and is defined as “combination of mechanical, electronic, computer, software, control and systems design engineering in order to design, and manufacture useful products”. It is a multidisciplinary field that benefits from the integration of various engineering disciplines.
