In the framework of keeping up with the modernization and development programs adopted by Thamar University, translation of its vision and mission, opened in late 2019 a new department in the Faculty of Engineering, which is the department of mechatronics, and is one of the most important modern and qualitative sciences for its practical integration and contains more than one specialty at the same time, which The graduate is offered many and wide opportunities in the different labor market. "mechatronics" is a very complex and overlapping field, under which the engineering of mechanics and electronics is included in the "they have the reason for naming", in addition to the engineering of control, industrial automation and the programming of artificial intelligence, some definitions may be extended to be placed under its wing Chemistry, energy, industrial management and aeronautical engineering. But let's take things on the other hand, which is the students' questions, as we know, the more the field of specialization is dispersed, the less excellence, and from this rule many followers and even the students of the specialty themselves think that the student of mechatronics will not be successful in anything because he is distracted, but we will clarify the picture and the answer here. To simplify this, let's move away from the label and focus on the need that this field came out to meet, in the middle of the last century and with the invention of transistor companies began to design machines that would be the connection between their parts electric (sensors - sensors) instead of mechanical binding (via cams and gears As controllers and computers advanced, companies began to introduce some intelligence to machines, such as a sequence of events based on inputs through controllers called (PLC programmed logical controllers). This was made more needed and computer-controlled by the so-called SCADA system and Robotics. Later, there was a need to connect to the Internet to show the need for the so-called Internet of Things (IoT). Let's stop here and note that there are large overlaps that have occurred in the industrial field that no major other than mechatronics engineering can cover, and industrial companies are insisting on studying this specialty to get an engineer able to think of different dimensions (electro-mechanical programming control ... etc. at the same time. Therefore, the specialty of mechatronics is a single specialty in application and need satisfaction, not as distracting from its name and content. Mechatronics students study subjects from various scientific fields, including: electrical engineering, electronic engineering, mechanical control engineering, mechanical engineering, optical engineering, and robotics science. Applications include mechatronics engineering: programmable logical control, supervisory control and data harvesting, building management system, engines that move at a certain point and angle, engineering in the design of subsystems such as anti-lock braking systems, automotive engineering and equipment Automatic design of anti-lock braking systems, computer control systems in computer-managed machines such as sorting machines, computer engineering, design of mechanisms such as computer disks, systems expert in Artificial Intelligence technologies, mechatronics as a new language for vehicle management, technologies Microdiagnostic control and diagnostic systems, computer-based manufacturing systems, automation and are part of robotics, structural dynamic systems, computer-assisted design, transportation and communication systems, mobile applications, medical imaging systems, mechatronics systems, cargo Industrial, micro-controls, automatic vision, packaging.
