WELCOME TO THE MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
The Mechatronics Engineering Department of Isparta Applied Sciences University, Faculty of Technology, was established within the structure of Süleyman Demirel University in 2010, according to the letter dated 04.03.2010 with the reference number 7902 from the Council of Higher Education.
Mechatronics, in its simplest explanation, is a branch of engineering dealing with systems consisting of machinery, electrical/electronic components, and computers.
Students graduating from the Mechatronics Engineering Department of the Faculty of Technology at Isparta Applied Sciences University will be equipped with integrated knowledge and concepts. In addition to theoretical knowledge, they will gain practical experience through workplace training and the laboratory facilities of the faculty, providing them with the privilege of finding employment primarily in high-tech companies.
The key attribute a mechatronics engineer must possess is the ability to strike a balance between two fundamental elements: modeling-analysis and experimental work-hardware application. The synergy and integration in the design of mechatronic systems stem from a convergence of multiple disciplines. Components of mechatronic systems include sensors, actuators, microcontrollers (microprocessors), and real-time control software. Actuators typically consist of electric motors and solenoids with high precision capabilities. Suitable sensors (light, acceleration, weight, color, temperature, image sensors, etc.) are used according to the requirements of the project. One of the distinguishing features that sets mechatronic systems or products apart from traditional electromechanical systems or products is the replacement of certain mechanical functions with electronic and software functions. This provides greater flexibility in both design and operation. Another feature of mechatronics is the increase in performance speed and accuracy. A third advantage is the ability for automatic data collection and reporting. Additionally, advanced mechatronic systems have the capability to control complex systems with distributed control. Mechatronic systems find applications in a wide and evolving range of fields, including robotics, industrial production machines, cameras, and computer disk drives.
