Mechatronics is emerging as one of the integrated new generation courses having enough careers potential within the country and abroad. This is a combination of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering and Control Engineering. It is also called Robotic science. Mechatronics has wide applications In Robotics, Nanotechnology, Automation, Aircraft Engineering, Biomedical Systems and Computer-aided Design. Biomechatronics is a branch of Mechatronics having electronics, mechatronics and biology as the different fields of study. Taking into account the emerging opportunities in the telecom sector, Nanotechnology and Mechatronics is emerging as the promising technological areas.
Even though mechatronics courses have got wide popularity in Canada, United States and UK, in India it is in the primitive stage. Number of institutions offering mechatronics course is comparatively less in India. There are only very few institutions offering BTech and MTech mechatronics programmes.
Being the four-year graduate programme, engineering students can directly apply for postgraduate programmes in Mechatronics abroad. MS Mechatronics is the most established and successful specialist programme in UK, which will substantially enhance career prospects of students. It is of one-year duration under full-time programme. In United States MS Mechatronics course is of two years duration.
