                    Chairman's Message

Mechatronic Engineering is the newest department (established in the year 2021) by the University.
Initially, the Master in Mechatronic Engineering degree program was offered from the year 2014.
Subsequently, Ph.D. in Mechatronic Engineering was also offered. Both of these postgraduate
programs are Higher Education Commission (HEC) approved. The four-year undergraduate degree
program in Mechatronic Engineering was launched in the year 2016 under the administration of the
Mechanical Engineering Department. After the establishment of the separate Department of
Mechatronic Engineering, this program is being managed by the same. Mehran University of
Engineering and Technology is the first and the only public sector university in the province of Sindh
offering the four-year B.E. in Mechatronic Engineering program. The first batch of this program has
already graduated. The program has been adapted to Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and is duly
accredited by Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) in level II (highest possible level).

A mechatronic engineer pursues an inter-disciplinary approach, which enables him/her to design and
develop devices and systems that encompass multiple conventional engineering disciplines. With the
advent of the Fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), modern smart technology is taking automation
to the next higher level thus bringing fundamental changes to our lives. The undergraduate program in
mechatronic engineering provides a right mix of subjects from mechanical, electronic and computer
engineering domains that is aimed to design and develop innovative technological interventions into
the modern-day challenges of industrial, medical and agricultural sectors. In addition to faculty of the
Mechatronic Engineering Department, the subjects are also taught by faculty members from Mechanical
Electronic and Computer System Engineering departments. In addition to the Department’s dedicated
laboratories, practical work is also carried out in the labs of other departments of the University.

Mechatronic Engineers have opportunities to work in emerging fields in public and private sectors. A
Mechatronic system is composed of integration of mechanical and electronic components, sensors,
actuators, and controllers. Modern industry has transformed from electromechanical type to fully
automated type; thus, Mechatronic engineering skills are in demand by both national and international
companies. They require personnel with multi-disciplinary expertise having knowledge of all the
related systems to run industries and improve automated systems. Plenty of opportunities exist for
postgraduate studies/scholarships nationally and internationally. Mechatronic Engineers are in demand
in the following sectors:

  • Automation and Control
  • Robotics
  • Automobile
  • Renewable energy
  • Power Plants
  • Oil refineries
  • Manufacturing process plants
  • Marine engineering
  • Biomedical
  • Food processing
  • Petrochemical
  • Research and Development
