Mechatronics

Overview

The Mechatronics Engineering major degree at Ain Shams University had opened its doors to undergraduate students in the fall of 2004. Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field of Mechanical, Electronics, computer science, and control engineering. The aim of this program is to graduate Mechatronics engineers, who are capable of penetrating Egyptian, regional, and international markets with their knowledge, skills, professionalism, and ethics. The Mechatronics department has a significant connection and interaction with local, regional, and global industries.

Program Mission

Providing high-quality up-to-date education in the field of Mechatronics, and preparing distinguished graduates who are capable of competing in the local, regional, and international markets, absorbing the fast-paced advances and new developments in the field of Mechatronics, conducting valuable research, and fulfilling the era’s requirements with respect to the ethical and professional standards in theory and practice. This is to enable our graduates to deal with the real problems in this field and provide specialized services to the community that is concerned with developing the built environment. This occurs within the framework of a supportive environment for the sustainable development of the knowledge and the various skills of the students as well as the faculty members and in cooperation with the relevant industrial and research entities locally and internationally.

Program Aims
