Mechatronics Engineering Program
This is a guraduate program under the Department of Mechatronics Engineering, provides training in master and doctorate level.
Mechatronics is a new approach raised from the synergistic integration of the sciences of mechanics, electronics and computer disciplines. Mechatronics engineers do not behave just as the mechanical or electronic engineers in view of the problems and projects, but they also think about the requirements of different disciplines in design stages by looking at them in great perspective. The goal of Mechatronics Master of Science (MSc) in ITU is to teach the engineers who come from different disciplines such as mechanics, electronics and computing to use. The approach of other discipline and also the synergistic approach of the Mechatronic design.
Students are required to take optional courses on mechatronics in accordance with the requirements of the subject that will be thesis and in addition four other courses along with the mathematics and three compulsory subjects on mechatronics approved by their advisors. In compulsory mechatronic design course, students develop mechanical construction, electronic cards ve control systems prototypes that designed by themselves.
Graduates of Mechatronic Engineering in ITU, can prepare their thesis in the laboratories of Mechatronics Education and Research Center, established by DPT and equipped with the last technological devices.
