Why do we offer Mechatronic Engineering?

The Bachelor of Mechatronic Engineering (B.Sc) program will provide young people with the necessary knowledge and skills in the field of mechatronics who wish to work in industry and commerce. Graduates of the GMIT have the opportunity to design, model and develop electronically controlled machines and equipment, as well as work in their production and maintenance.



Why study mechatronic engineering?
 
Nowadays, increasing production productivity, improving product quality and reducing energy consumption are very important issues in the industries. To meet this requirement, machinery, production lines, and the entire plant are equipped with electronic control and monitoring systems, and all processes could be precisely monitored and controlled from anywhere in world through internet. Things we use in our daily lives such as cars, printers, washing machines, bread and pasta machines, automatic toasters, vacuum cleaner robots, and heating and ventilation of the buildings are mechatronic systems and run automatically according to the program. In the factory, CNC (computerized numeric control) machines cut and print parts, and various robots transport, paint, weld and pack the items 24 hours a day. In the canteens robot waiters serve and robot taxis or trucks will soon be available for passenger and goods transportation. 
Without computers, the Internet, and mobile phones our lives would be unimaginable, and without robots and automation, there would be no production and no delivery. In other words, we need to be ready for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. 

Why get an Engineering Degree at GMIT?
 
Teaching and research at GMIT are characterized by strong practice-orientation and dedication to foster creative and critical thinking. This practice-orientation, the promotion of professional and personal development of its students, and the international character of our university, makes GMIT a model university in Mongolia. The Bachelor of Science in “Mechatronic Engineering” is following a four years (eight academic semester) undergraduate education program with 240 Credit Points (ECTS), according European standards. The international accreditation also provides to students the flexibility of continuing their studies in the European Union and other countries later on. Because the language of instruction is English (German language comes later on, too), students are fully qualified to work in international contexts later on. Furthermore, the study programs have a strong-practice orientation. Besides lectures, students are trained in the lab as well as in the field. Excursions, meetings with company representatives and professional internships connect students to potential employers and provide insights into future career options. Last but not least, educating students who can apply international (German) expertise to local (Mongolian) context and thereby create added value is the core of engineering education at GMIT.
