Department of Mechatronics Engineering
![]() |
Mechatronics combines mechanical, computer, electronics, and information sciences to design intelligent systems, balancing mechanical structure with advanced control. This interdisciplinary approach enables engineers to develop automated and robotic solutions, meeting the demands of modern industries transitioning from traditional mechanical systems to fully automated, computer-controlled processes.
To address this shift, the College of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering introduced Mechatronics in 1998. Graduates gain expertise in engineering principles and practical applications, contributing to industries such as automation, defense, R&D, and advanced industrial systems. Many of our alumni have excelled in diverse fields, including Control Engineering, Robotics, AI, Machine Vision, and beyond, showcasing the versatility of a Mechatronics education. |

Dr Hamid Jabbar
Welcome to Mechatronics engineering at NUST, College of Electrical and Mechanical engineering. Our graduates work in almost every technology-based industry: robotics automation,instrumentation, manufacturing, automotive, space and aerospace, bioengineering, chemical and textiles. Our goal for undergraduate students is to give them a high-quality engineering education that includes hands-on experience. Each of our faculty members is ready and willing to work in their research specialty with capable students on individual projects. Our faculty has two major areas of research: intelligent systems and robotics & automation. Both areas strongly support the growing automotive and manufacturing industries. We strive to ensure that all our students have a strong education with teaming and leadership skills, involvement in student activities, and the practical background of co-op and internship experience. We believe that emphasizing these areas will make our students well qualified to take leadership roles in the future. We also have a strong post graduate program in mechatronics engineering.Our master’s and doctoral students give numerous technical presentations in courses and on their research. All graduate students are also expected to publish their research in relevant peer reviewed engineering journals and high level conferenes . Whether you are a current or former student, a potential student, or a visitor, please feel free to contact or visit us. Again, welcome to The Department.
