The concept of mechatronics education at UBT is the result of the emerging industrial production and processing industry in Kosovo. The request for industry-academic engineering courses in mechatronics courses was not satisfied till the last decade when UBT in cooperation with leading Austrian practitioners developed the first Mechatronics Management program.

Vision

Faculty will be recognized as one of the leading academies in the region in the fields of Mechatronics Engineering and other related fields, where quality, reliability, flexibility, and academic, as well as research and professional speed, will prevail.

Mission statement

The faculty is committed to high-quality education and research in all areas of the faculty in order to prepare students for the challenges of life: work and professional contribution, and qualitative, scientific, and competitive research.

The main goals and objectives of Faculty

This programme provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, skills, and other attributes in the following areas:

• To educate the knowledgeable, skilled, and contemporary mechatronic engineers who are capable of responding to changing needs of engineering and technology with continuous self-renewal and with the desire for lifelong learning.
• To integrate teaching and research for effective application of knowledge and acquired skills
• To educate the Mechatronic Engineers who are respectful to ethical values and sensitive to contemporary problems
• To educate the Mechatronic Engineers who have good communication skills and teamwork
• Train highly skilled manpower in Mechatronic Systems, precision engineering, and manufacturing automation.
• To become a significant example not only for the institution but also for the whole country in promoting and establishing such interdisciplinary graduate study programs, which have a growing reputation and widespread acceptance worldwide.
• To emphasize the significance and potentials of the methods and technologies used in various levels of formation and usage of sustainable development, thus to train experts within these fields
• To develop infrastructure and equipment necessary for training and research in the discipline of Mechatronic Engineering.
• To establish and strengthen industrial collaboration and partnerships in training, research, and innovation.
• To establish income generation mechanisms through training, research, and consultancies.

The study program aims to produce engineers who are committed to a career in mechatronics with a variety of different employers inside and outside Kosovo. The programme emphasizes the importance of producing original thinkers who are able to take an imaginative approach to the solution of a wide range of engineering problems.
