Course Details of Bachelor level:

• Mechatronics integrates knowledge mainly from the field of mechanics, electronics, informatics and control. Its essential features are artificial intelligence, interactivity, autonomous behavior, or structural maturity. It is used in many modern fields such as: robotics, intelligent sensors, satellite technology, but also in mechanical engineering as such. Mechatronics is increasingly growing into the field of natural sciences and new interdisciplinary fields are emerging, such as: nanotechnology, biotechnology and remediation technologies.
• Graduates will be employed in ensuring the operation of modern electromechanical, electrohydraulic and other mechatronic systems with computer control. Furthermore, in companies engaged in the construction of machines, devices and equipment belonging to the class of mechatronic systems and the production of their components, as well as in testing, service and development of these systems and complexes.
