Mechatronics is the design methodology of systems based on multidisciplinary engineering approaches. Most modern systems such as consumer products, manufacturing machines, or even exotic measurement devices must be designed to comply with several constraints at the same time, including complex behavior, mechanical and electronic precision, low cost, low power consumption, environmental friendliness, networked operation, smart interaction with users and work in uncertain environments. Their design requires engineers who are fluent in such disciplines as electronics, mechanics, computers, control, and other areas like optics and material science.

Mechatronics program at Sabanci University aims to educate creative individuals who can apply ideas from all such disciplines to design today's complex systems. The approach is supported by a curriculum seamlessly integrating the diverse disciplines, while being hands-on and research oriented from the undergraduate education, utilizing our comprehensive research infrastruture used for the industrial projects and fundamental research conducted by the program members.

The mission of the Mechatronics Engineering Program at Sabancı University is to educate our graduates with a solid multidisciplinary technical foundation, a broad intellectual background, a diverse set of engineering skills, and proficiency in Turkish and English, while instilling in them self-confidence, critical and creative thinking ability, collaboration skills, social awareness, professional ethics and a motivation for life-long learning, to prepare them for a diverse and competitive career.
