Welcome to the Istanbul Gedik University Mechatronics Engineering Department.
Today, engineering disciplines are shedding their sharp boundaries and transforming into a hybrid structure in direct proportion to the speed of technological progress. Mechatronics Engineering, as the most concrete and powerful representative of this transformation, is a multidisciplinary engineering vision that melts classical mechanical engineering, electronics, control systems, and software engineering into a single pot.
In the modern industry, it is no longer possible to talk about just a mechanical structure or an isolated electronic circuit. Today’s complex problems require all sub-disciplines to be managed in orchestral harmony from the design stage to the final product. From autonomous systems to the defense industry, and from smart production technologies to biomedical applications, the concept of the “smart system” comes to life within the competence area of mechatronics engineering.
The fundamental mission of our department is not only to transfer theoretical knowledge to our students but also to provide them with the ability to think strategically and produce holistic solutions with an interdisciplinary perspective. Our dynamic academic staff, who produce academic publications at international standards and possess high application experience, is your greatest guide on this path.
The most privileged point of our education model is our unbreakable bond with the industry. Thanks to our bilateral cooperation protocol signed with Gedik Holding, we carry theoretical knowledge beyond the campus boundaries to real production sites. The advantages provided by this protocol, combined with our strong laboratory infrastructure and our university’s own resources, offer our students advanced application opportunities in many areas from robotic systems to automation. Our students start one step ahead in the sector by finding the opportunity to work with industrial-standard equipment before they even graduate.
We do not see engineering education only as a technical process; we also focus on social and personal development. Our active student clubs offer a vibrant ecosystem for our students to develop their teamwork, leadership, and innovation skills through projects and competitions.
We invite you, our valuable youth who set out with the vision of becoming the architects of the systems that design the future, to be a part of this qualified academic environment and our strong educational tradition that is intertwined with the industry.
With my wishes for success,
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Savaş DİLİBAL
Head of Department
