The World University of Bangladesh launched the nation's first mechatronics engineering program with the goal of producing technical leaders for the rapidly developing technical sector and establishing a high-tech, knowledge-based economy. Since 2006, World University of Bangladesh has been providing a Bachelor of Science in Mechatronics Engineering degree. Being an exceptional discipline to study, this area of engineering is involved with the creation of automated machines based on a combination of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. The Department has implemented an outcome based (OBE) curriculum while upholding all of the requirements of Bangladesh National Qualification Framework (BNQF). The introduction of this potentially new program at the tertiary level is to teach appropriate technology and skills that are highly needed in industries. Such an initiative will enable the development of human resources with multi-skills in the grass-root level of the engineering hub emphasizing the requirements of Fourth Industrial Revolution & Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The Department has a brilliant group of individuals who have similar targets and are committed to develop teaching and research activities in order to benefit the nation, the society and mankind at large.
World University of Bangladesh (WUB) embarked on its journey on February 26, 2003 with a vision of providing utilitarian education for economic emancipation. WUB was founded mostly by the teachers having vast experience of teaching and laid down the structure for quality education emphasizing the betterment of the self, society and country. The university is a member of the Association of Private Universities in Bangladesh, Association of CommonWealth Universities and Quality Assurance & Improvement Council and appears in the worldwide listing of universities by the UNESCO. World University of Bangladesh (WUB) strives to become one of the best universities in Bangladesh ensuring a high standard in teaching, faculties and other activities to attain the full potential. Over the journey of two decades WUB has had five convocations, producing 22,000 professionals who are making significant contributions to both domestic and international economies. However, currently WUB is continuing its academic activities in a widespread environment at Uttara, in a permanent campus recognized by the Ministry of Education, Bangladesh
To create leaders who will make his/her brains as the tiniest factory capable of making enormous contributions to the economic emancipation and social well-being of Bangladesh.
To become a university of quality and distinction enabling students to flourish academically, personally, and socially through utilitarian education at an affordable cost. The academic programs of this University are continually being updated and improved to reflect the latest development in Engineering education.
In fulfillment of the mission of the Mechatronics Engineering program as stated above, the following educational objectives have been developed for the Mechatronics Engineering program:
PEO-1: Successfully applying their learned skills throughout their professional pursuits.
PEO-2: Have enthusiasm and aptitude to continuously pursue learning and professional development.
PEO-3: Have the ability to communicate and work an individuals and or as a team members that include engineers and colleagues from other disciplines
PEO-4: Have recognition as qualified engineers with high ethical values.
Program Outcomes (POs) or graduate attributes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These statements relate to the knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired by students while progressing through the program. The program must demonstrate that by the time of graduation, students have achieved an acceptable minimum level of certain knowledge, skills and behavioral traits. In fulfillment of the mission of the Mechatronics Engineering program as stated above, the following Program Outcomes (POs) have been developed for the Mechatronics Engineering program:
PO1: Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex mechatronics engineering problems.
PO2: Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex mechatronics engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
PO3: Design/development: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
PO4: Investigations: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
PO5. Modern Tools: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex mechatronics engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
PO6. Engineer and Society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice
PO7. Environment and Sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
PO8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
PO9. Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
PO10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
PO11. Project management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments
PO12. Life-long Learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
The Mechatronic Engineering Program’s Educational Objectives are goals for its graduates to achieve a few years after graduation. Mechatronic engineering graduates will:
