In the most general sense, mechatronics engineering deals with the problem of directing a system to the desired state with appropriate software and hardware. After the industrial revolution, some problems that occurred due to the rapidly developing technology and the rapid increase in production led people to seek new ways to get more efficiency. The use of the information obtained as a result of the research in the industry and other systems that produce from the industry has created synergy between different engineering fields and has led to the birth of a new interdisciplinary engineering branch, “Mechatronics Engineering.
Mechatronics Engineering is one of the major engineering disciplines that inspires the future and guides various extraordinary technological leaps that have the potential to shape the future. Mechatronics Engineering graduate programs within our university meet the demand for highly qualified personnel in the field of Mechatronics Engineering in academia and industry.
The program is for graduates of Mechatronics Engineering undergraduate programs available at Karabuk University and graduate undergraduate programs at other universities. The program develops students' independent research abilities. Students will achieve these goals through a combination of coursework and research toward completing a thesis.
A master's degree can be a vital step if you want to explore solutions to complex problems and support next-generation products, devices, and groundbreaking discoveries. Earning a master's degree in Mechatronics Engineering can deepen your knowledge of some of the most fascinating challenges posed today while opening career opportunities in technical organizations.
Today, the expectations from the industry are more economical, quality, and error-free products. Since meeting this need cannot be achieved with conventional human-based production and classical design methods, system design with the Mechatronics approach is required today. Mechatronics engineers who can use their mechanical, electrical, electronic, control, and software knowledge synergistically for problem-solving are frequently needed in the industry.
Modern systems used in medicine and medical technologies, control and navigation of unmanned land and air vehicles, smart land vehicles and interactive traffic systems, robotic systems, air conditioning systems, and factory automation systems are among the application areas of Mechatronics. As can be seen, the field of Mechatronics is a rapidly developing branch of science that covers almost all of today's modern engineering systems.
