In response to the growing demand for highly skilled engineers in the labor market, the University of Science and Technology (UST) established the Mechatronics Engineering program in 2017 under the Department of Electronics Engineering. Since its inception, the program has sought to bridge the gap between academic preparation and industrial requirements by emphasizing applied learning and research. Its achievements include the cultivation of graduates who possess advanced technical expertise, familiarity with modern technologies, and the ability to adapt to evolving industrial challenges. Furthermore, the program has contributed to the development of a workforce capable of supporting innovation and sustaining competitiveness in fields directly related to mechatronics.
The Mechatronics Engineering program is housed within the Department of Mechatronics, which operates under the Faculty of Engineering at UST. The organizational framework of the program is structured to ensure academic rigor, professional relevance, and ethical responsibility. It emphasizes the development of students’ practical and professional skills, research capabilities, and proficiency with advanced technological equipment. Additionally, the program fosters essential soft skills, including effective communication, teamwork, and adherence to professional ethics. Through this structure, the department aims to supply the labor market with engineers who possess flexible, multidisciplinary competencies and who are prepared to contribute meaningfully to both individual and collaborative professional endeavors.
The developments of program depend on Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Criteria
