The concept of mechatronics education at UBT College emerged in response to the growing industrial production and processing industry in Kosovo. Until the last decade, the demand for academic engineering courses in mechatronics remained unfulfilled. This changed when UBT, in collaboration with leading Austrian practitioners, developed the first Mechatronics Management program. An initial industry survey clearly highlighted the need for mechatronics education, reflecting the decisive role of automation, electronics, and system thinking in the field of mechanical engineering. Thus, the establishment of mechatronics at UBT was driven by a strong market demand for this type of education, given the critical role that mechatronics and engineering play in Kosovo’s emerging industrial landscape.
As part of an EU Erasmus-supported project, UBT successfully accredited and operated the Mechatronics Management program over the past few years. Since UBT had not previously established traditional engineering disciplines, the program was developed from the ground up.
Until 2022, the program was named Mechatronics Management. However, following reaccreditation in 2022, it was renamed Mechatronics Engineering to better align with its academic and professional focus.
Graduates of the mechatronics program at UBT are expected to adapt quickly to industry trends, respond effectively to market needs, and adopt an integrative approach to product and process development. With their interdisciplinary knowledge and experience, they are equipped to serve as competent team leaders. They are prepared to work in industrial environments utilizing advanced technologies based on mechatronics principles and act as a bridge between specialists in specific fields and the needs of Kosovan businesses. Additionally, graduates will contribute significantly at all stages of engineering design—from conceptualization to final product development—using a systemic approach in which electrical, electronic, computer, and mechanical subsystems are simultaneously designed to function as an integrated whole.
