I am a second year student of Omsk State Technical University, the department of Information Technologies and Computer Systems. I specialize in the field of mechatronics and after 4 years of studies I’ll get a bachelor’s degree and become a mechatronics engineer.

The term "mechatronics" was coined by a Japanese engineer from Yasukawa Electric Company in 1969 to reflect the merging of mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines. Until the early 1980s, mechatronics meant a mechanism that is electrified, later-on it came to mean engineering that is the boundary between mechanics and electronics. Mechatronics gained legitimacy in academic circles in 1996 with the first publications on the problems of mechatronics in scientific journals. This term was then defined as "The synergistic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacturing of industrial products and processes." Today, the term mechatronics encompasses a large array of technologies, many of which have become well known in their own right. Normally the following fields fall, at least in part, under the general category of mechatronics: modelling and design, system integration, actuators and sensors, intelligent control, robotics, manufacturing, motion control, vibration and noise control, micro devices and optoelectronic systems, automotive systems, etc.

To become skilled specialists in mechatronics we are trained in fundamental sciences and special subjects. As future mechatronics engineers we get thorough knowledge of physics, mathematics, technical drawing, electrical engineering, strength of materials, machine parts, theory of mechanics, automation, electronics, computer-related technologies, computer science. Apart from the engineering subjects, we are offered a wide program of humanities. A great attention is paid to such subjects as history, philosophy, foreign languages as well as to the development of the scientific world outlook of the future engineers. We are taught by a highly-qualified staff of professors and teachers. Our practical training and laboratory works are done in the laboratories equipped with modern installations, apparatuses and devices. Theoretical training is combined with scientific work at the scientific centres and students’ design bureaus. It is also combined with practical training at the advanced enterprises. Besides, we write our term papers and graduation papers on the problems connected with mechatronics. We operate experimental and industrial installations, carry out research work, read scientific literature which deals with our speciality. All these help to turn a student into a highly-skilled engineer, ready for independent work.
