Department of Mechanical Engineering coordinates the Minor Program on Mechatronics which is offered by the Faculty of Engineering for undergraduate students. The main purpose of this program is to provide successful and motivated students with a broad knowledge of mechatronics that will enable them to practice their profession in an interdisciplinary manner.
Applications are accepted only during summer for Mechatronics minor and students can apply for admission to the program at the end of their freshman or sophomore years only.
