Program Specifications

Ø ABET accredited Program

Mechatronic Engineering started in Japan in the 70’s of the last century. It is a form of systems engineering, whereby engineers understand the interactions between the different fields of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, control systems and programming. System engineering overcomes the classical problem of dealing with an engineering system or problem by looking at isolated single engineering disciplines and instead addresses the system as a whole. Mechatronic engineers can design and control complex systems such as automotive systems, aerospace systems, robotic systems, and manufacturing systems.

Ø Vision statements of the program:

To contribute to uplifting the engineering and technology in Jordan and the Arab world to an internationally renowned level.

Ø Mission statements of the program:

The Mission of the program is to provide quality education, research, and community service in mechatronics that satisfy the needs of the local and regional industry.

Ø Program Aims:
