Mechatronics Department

Mechatronics Engineering is a combination of mechanical engineering, electronics, computers, and control systems that first was developed by a Japanese engineer from the Yasakawa Electric Company in 1969. The mechatronics design goal is to design systems that, while having simplicity and economics, are highly accurate and intelligent, and adapt themselves to environmental conditions in a way.

In Afghanistan, for the first time, in 2011, this field was founded in partnership with Hartford University in the United State at Herat University.
