Khalifa Isyaku Rabiu University

Department of Mechatronic Engineering

Mechatronic Engineering

INTRODUCTION

Mechatronics is an emerging area of engineering arising from the increasing integration of electronic intelligence into mechanical systems. This discipline is a hybrid between Mechanical and Electronics Engineering. Alternative names are Mech-Electro Engineering and Electro-Mechanical     Engineering.    

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field comprising the principles of mechanical, electrical, computer and controls engineering. At the intersection of several engineering fields, mechatronics aims at providing a unified solution that connects various stages of design and production processes into a single, streamlined system.

  • Be competent mechatronic engineers who are knowledgeable, skillful and able to solve complex engineering problems.
  • Have inclination towards research and lifelong learning and be able to promote entrepreneurial ideas. 
  • Be effective engineers with leadership qualities and high morals and professional ethics.

Notes:

  1. COREN request the addition of STA 112 - Probability I in Level 100. The department recommends that it should me be merged with CCMAS GET 305: Engineering Statistics and Data Analytics
  2. COREN also recommends addition of PHY-104 (General Physics III). The department recommends merging this course with KHAIRUN-MCE 501 (Mechanical Vibration).
