Bachelor of Science in Intelligent Systems and Mechatronics Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Intelligent Systems and Mechatronics Engineering (BSIME) is a multidisciplinary program that merges the expertise and resources of electrical and mechanical engineering. This program is accredited by the Ministry of Education's Higher Education Affairs Division in the United Arab Emirates. 

The program equips students with the knowledge and skills required to design, implement, control, and operate intelligent and mechatronics systems. Graduates of the program will leave with an innovative interdisciplinary education that enables them to join the fourth industrial revolution workforce in rapidly emerging fields such as  autonomous unmanned vehicles/drones, robotics, automation and additive manufacturing, internet-of-things, human computer systems, smart grid and intelligent mechatronics systems in general.

Through a cutting-edge combination of  technology-based engineering tools and digital skills in the field  of intelligent systems and mechatronics engineering, this  degree program offers an entirely new and practical approach. Its curriculum encompasses the principles of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science with the added component of automation and artificial intelligence. In addition, students will be prepared for future management roles by  developing essential skills related to leadership, teamwork, project administration and resource management—both onsite and in the virtual world.

Consistent with the demands of international and national accreditation requirements and targeting specific industry needs of the region, this undergraduate degree takes about four years to complete.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Bachelor of Science in  Intelligent Systems and Mechatronics Engineering (BSISME)  program at AUS is to provide students with the highest level of technical preparation, social responsibility, leadership and lifelong learning skills for successful careers in the intelligent systems and mechatronics industry. The program offers quality education based on a nationally and internationally recognized curriculum supported by well-equipped laboratories and state-of-the-art educational tools.

The Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering provide a professional environment that fosters fairness, ethics, diversity, faculty development, quality research and outreach with industry and public agencies. Thus, ISME graduates will be successful engineers possessing effective communication skills with the ability to improve technical and non-technical competencies through engagement in professional activities, projects and/or graduate studies.

Program Educational Objectives

The objectives of the Bachelor of Science in Intelligent Systems and Mechatronics Engineering program are to produce graduates who will:

• have successful careers in intelligent systems and mechatronics engineering and become independent thinkers, effective communicators, team members, decision makers and leaders in industry and public sectors
• understand the global, ethical and social implications of the intelligent systems and mechatronics engineering profession and promote public safety and environmental protection
• pursue advanced studies successfully and engage in continuing education and lifelong learning

Student Outcomes

Upon graduation, an AUS graduate in intelligent systems and mechatronics engineering should demonstrate an ability to:

• identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
• apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors
• communicate effectively with a range of audiences
• recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts
• function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives
• develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
• acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

This new program will start in Fall 2024.
