It is also recognized as a crucial growtharea for the college. The University and the college are prepared to make the changes necessaryto meet the identified and articulated needs of industrial partners and our students.

The history of mechatronicsbegan in 1969 with Tetsura Mori, an employee at Yaskawa Electric Corporation [1]. The termmechatronics is derived from the two general fields of mechanical and electrical engineering, andare bridged by computer science. Mechatronics engineering has already been applied in variouscomponents of technology that can be found in the present world.
