The Mechatronic Engineering program at Ashesi is an interdisciplinary major that specifically trains engineers who will be particularly skilled in automation, integrating knowledge from electronics, electrical, mechanical, computing and control systems. Graduates will be well placed to advance automation initiatives both in private and public organizations.

Students in the program will have grounding in the core areas of Mechatronics—a combination of related areas in Mechanical, Computer and Electrical Engineering—in an interdisciplinary production/automation context while exploring automation and mechatronics.

The program will develop students’ creative and critical thinking through practical, real-world projects. As with all majors at Ashesi, the program will also help students develop an ethical posture, a strong sense of responsibility, and an innovation-oriented, problem-solving approach toward addressing Africa’s industrial, manufacturing, and production challenges.
