Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of engineering that includes a combination of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, telecommunications engineering, control engineering, and computer engineering. Mechatronics is where computers have to physically interact with the real world – turning electrical signals into physical movement. Mechatronic devices are essential but hidden in everyday life: engine control and anti-lock braking control in cars, building key-card access controls along with building air conditioning, computer disk drives, printers and photocopiers, as well as robotics and automation. Experts in the interdisciplinary mechatronics field must acquire a general knowledge of many processes as well as specialized knowledge in specific fields of application to provide the particular blend of technologies that will provide the most economic, innovative, elegant, and appropriate solution to the problem at hand. In order to achieve this, you will need to be able to embrace a wide range of fundamental and more specialist engineering skills through the Systems Engineering department.

All academic programs of Systems Engineering (Advanced Diploma & Bachelor Degree) are accredited by Oman Academic Accreditation Authority (OAAA) and the following professional institutions:
Energy Institute
The Energy Institute is a professional organization for engineers and other professionals in energy-related fields. The EI was formed in 2003 with the merger of the Institute of Petroleum and the Institute of Energy. It has an international membership of about 20,000 people and 200 companies. The Institution was founded in 2003. The institute is a member of the British Engineering Council.
Institution of Engineering and Technology
The Institution of Engineering and Technology is a multidisciplinary professional engineering institution. The IET was formed in 2006 from two separate institutions: the Institution of Electrical Engineers, dating back to 1871, and the Institution of Incorporated Engineers dating back to 1884. The institute is a member of the British Engineering Council.
Institution of Mechanical Engineering
The Institution of Mechanical Engineers is an independent professional association and learned society headquartered in London, United Kingdom, that represents mechanical engineers and the engineering profession. The Institution was founded in 1847. The institute is a member of the British Engineering Council.
QAA Benchmark Groups:
UK Engineering Council, and ROSQA (Requirements for Oman’s System of Quality Management in Higher Education).

The Engineering Council is the UK regulatory body for the engineering profession. It holds the national registers of over 222,000 Engineering Technicians (EngTech), Incorporated Engineers (IEng), Chartered Engineers (CEng) and Information and Communications Technology Technicians (ICTTech). There are many professional institutions that fall within the membership of the British Engineering Council.
In Systems Engineering (SE) Department, the Training Needs Assessment (TNA), as well as the Department Specific Activities (DSA), are designed to enrich students’ practical experience in each pathway. Students undertake the TNA activities throughout levels 3, 4 and 5 whilst the DSA are scheduled for two weeks at the end of each semester.
The TNA activities are designed to meet the MOD units’ competencies as well as to support and fill any gaps in the theoretical curriculum activities.
For each pathway in the SE department, TNAs are carried out on-campus on a weekly basis covering, but not limited to, the following areas:
On the other hand, DSA activates are designed to provide a two-week period of extended learning where students are able to undertake prolonged training in a single discipline whether on-campus or in a chosen MOD unit.
