The Atılım University Department of Mechatronics Engineering started its operation in 2002 as the Education Program in Mechatronics Engineering holding a “department” status in Turkey. In addition, it is the first and the only institution for mechatronic engineering education to obtain a MÜDEK (Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs) accreditation for a duration of 5 years. Mechatronics engineering is a discipline of engineering that combines mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering and software technologies on a machine or a product. These features place the field on a pedestal in today’s industry. The education at our department is also backed by substantial laboratory opportunities. Our students create interesting products of their skills and creativity for their dissertation projects. Should they wish to do so, our students may also proceed with a double-major program in the fields of Computer Engineering, Electrical - Electronics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Mechanical, Automotive or Software Engineering. Upon their demands, the Department of Mechatronic Engineering also offers a “Cooperative Education” program implemented in coordination with industrial institutions. Students receiving a portion of their training at industrial institutions and prepare for professional life under this program

Department of Mechatronics Engineering
Our purpose in the program is to educate our students for contributing to universal knowledge by doing research on contemporary mechatronics engineering problems and provide them with design, production and publication skills. To reach this goal our post graduate students are offered courses in various areas of mechatronics engineering, encouraged to do research to develop their expertise and their creative side, as well as develop analysis and design skills.

Abstract

The fundamental reasoning behind the use of bioinspired design (BID) is to increase creativity (novelty and usefulness) and innovation in engineering. Within the context of BID, development of systematic process for analyzing biological systems and transferring knowledge, which is obtained from the analysis of biological systems, into engineering is compulsory. This paper presents developing a process for the analysis of biological systems for design of biorobots. Preparing, collecting, and organizing are the main steps of this process and applied in a case study which involves gripping motion of a human hand. An experimental set-up with a high-speed camera is constructed to obtain the components of knowledge: morphology, function and behavior. This knowledge will be later used to design a wearable hand in prospective projects.
