Mechatronics

Mechatronics is one of the fastest-developing areas of science and technology. It bases on the application of knowledge and skills in mechanics, construction and operation of machines, electronics, IT, automation, control, modelling, design and operation of products and production processes. Modern mechatronics  evolves in two directions: mechatronic systems (development of intelligent assemblies and sub-assemblies) and mechatronic design (methods of formulating and solving problems associated with creating and operating control systems). Starting from the 5th term, the majority of practical classes is conducted in the form of team projects, consisting in solving specific engineering problems. This is achieved by advanced laboratory base, enriched with newly created labs: Design and Modelling of Mechatronic Systems, Application of IT in Mechatronics, Vehicle Electronics, Dynamic Measurements, Automation of Technological Processes, Microdrives, Pneumatics, Mechatronic Elements and Systems, Motor Powering Systems.
