Program Description
Mechatronics engineering is an engineering discipline that emerges from the integration of knowledge in the fields of machinery, electronics, control, and computers. In this context, the courses offered in the program are formed by combining the fields of mechanics, electronics, software, control, and automation. Thus, within the scope of the program, many interdisciplinary studies based on mechatronic system design are developed through experimental and numerical analyses.
The Mechatronics Engineering program at Istanbul Gedik University offers two different master's degree options: thesis and non-thesis. In these programs, academia and industry work in close collaboration to produce solutions to problems encountered in industry. This collaboration is achieved through industry-oriented projects in the courses and studies at the Robot Technologies Application and Research Center. In addition to theoretical courses, students have the opportunity to develop themselves in this field by selecting design and modeling-oriented application courses.
Graduates of the Mechatronics Engineering Master's Program with Thesis are employed in companies producing defense and automotive industries, aircraft industry, robot integration, biomedical systems, aviation industry, renewable energy production or facilities producing these technologies, hydroelectric power plants, iron and steel industry, ceramics and glass industry, food and pharmaceutical industries, textile industry, machinery and manufacturing sector, energy distribution sites, chemical and petrochemical plants, elevator and escalator manufacturing companies, shipbuilding industry and shipyards, etc. Additionally, they can pursue their academic careers through R&D and doctoral studies.
Program Structure
The thesis-based master's program in Mechatronics Engineering consists of a total of 21 credits, 7 courses, a seminar course, and a thesis. The seminar course and thesis are not credited and are graded as pass or fail. The duration of the thesis-based master's program is a minimum of four and a maximum of six semesters. The duration calculation does not include the scientific preparation program. Semesters in which the student is not enrolled are included in the maximum duration.
