The Study of Mechatronics in the Context of Emerging Industries
Mechatronics, specifically the study of mechatronics in the context of emerging industries, is the academic area of focus at KUAS Graduate School of Engineering. Conventional fields of mechatronics have included mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering. At KUAS, these fields are extended with chemicals, materials, information and knowledge engineering. Skills acquired in these disciplines can be applied in many industries, particularly in fields such as robotics, drones and electric vehicles. Graduate students are affiliated with a research laboratory and learn in an “on-the-research training” environment under the supervision of globally-active professors from around the world. Along with cutting-edge research facilities, this environment is ideal for aiding students in further developing their specialized fields.

More specifically, the study of mechatronics at the graduate level includes:

1. mechanical engineering, for the development of actuators (such as motors), mechanical elements, sensors, and control equipment, as well as design, production and information processing;
2. electrical, electronic, and communications engineering, for the development of electromagnetic and communication circuits and devices;
3. materials science and engineering, for developing new materials and their mechanical applications;
4. computer science and information engineering, for information processing, machine learning and big data analysis; and
5. chemical engineering, for the development of batteries essential to electrical vehicles, autonomous systems and the Internet of Things (IoT).
