Welcome to the Department of Mechatronics Engineering. Mechatronics engineering is of great importance and is very popular among various engineering specializations due to the urgent need for it in the world of industry and the remarkable technological progress in various aspects of life. The term mechatronics was first used in the seventies of the twentieth century, as this science is based on the analysis, design, and connection between mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems through a programmed intelligent controller. The department's bachelor's program in mechatronics engineering began in 2002. Philadelphia University is considered one of the leading universities in this specialty, and the department is an attractive environment for students from various governorates of the Kingdom and Arab countries. In 2012, the master’s program in mechatronics engineering began in cooperation with the University of Bochum in Germany, where the student has the option of obtaining a master’s degree from Philadelphia University only or two master’s degrees, one from Philadelphia University and the other from the University of Bochum in Germany. The Department of Mechatronics Engineering is distinguished by a faculty with high academic qualifications from prestigious international universities such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The faculty members in the department are also distinguished by their research production in various fields of mechatronics engineering. The department includes many laboratories equipped with the latest equipment and technologies that will contribute to preparing mechatronics engineers with knowledge and practical experience that qualifies them to enter the labor market with confidence and competence.
