Program Description

Automation or Mechatronics is a field of engineering integrating mechanical, electronics & computer engineering technologies that have revolutionized and formed the foundation blocks of every industry since the last two decades.

The study mainly deals with various specialized technologies like Industrial Automation, Control Engineering, Sensors, Microprocessors/Microcontrollers, PLC, Pneumatics, Programming, Vision Systems, Robotics Technologies, & Artificial Intelligence.

This emerging area of flexible automation has become a global industry to evolve efficient manufacturing processes and technologies. Training in the latest technologies and processes in the areas of design, manufacturing, and the tools of integration is very much essential. The mechanical devices used in manufacturing are built with electronic systems, and computer technologies are used to control the process to achieve automation. The core objective is to train students in the latest technologies and processes in design, control, and manufacturing.

The program is also incorporated with IoT and IR 4.0 Fundamentals modules that are keeping in trend with the latest technological developments in today’s digital world.

Upon completion of the Automation / Mechatronics program, the graduates can expect highly rewarding jobs since automation will continue to be one of the most growing sectors in the future.
