Faculty of Technologists
Department of Information Science and Mechatronics Engineering
Today, information technology is used to develop cutting-edge products such as self-driving cars, robots and drones. To realize these moving mechanisms, knowledge and skills in mechatronics, which integrates mechanical, electrical and electronic components, are important. The Department of Information Science and Mechatronics Engineering has a curriculum that teaches the fundamentals of mechatronics, such as machine design using 3D CAD, machining, materials science, electrical and electronic engineering, as well as programming techniques related to the fields of AI and information. In order to balance the learning of hardware and software, many ‘hands-on’ lessons are incorporated into the actual teaching and combined with classroom lectures to deepen understanding. Students can continuously learn ‘mechatronics using information technology’ by actually touching and making things.
