In order to meet the needs for mechatronics related talents of industry, National Taiwan Normal University established Graduate Institute of Mechatronic Technology in 2002 and offered Master programs. In 2004, undergraduate programs were offered and all department resources were integrated to establish Department of Mechatronic Science. Later in 2012, Doctoral Programs were offered. And the Department changed its name to Department of Mechatronic Engineering during the year of 2014. The direction and goal of the Department is drawn up to cope with the national policies, industrial needs and skill developing trends. The two core fields of the Department are Precision Machinery and Opto-Mechatronics. Through related lectures, students can develop professional and cross-fields knowledge. As a result, students will reinforce their abilities to orient the needs of the changing workplace.
The Department of undergraduate courses are divided into two specialized areas of “precision machinery”, “optical and electrical integration”. The recruitment from ordinary high school and Technical high school students is each half. Students can choose a specific field of interest in their own learning, also cross-domain learning; for the focus of the curriculum, Master’s courses are committed to” precision machinery design and manufacture “,” optical electromechanical Integration System “in the field of theoretical and applied research, and set up a number of professional laboratories to meet the needs of teaching and Research. Doctoral classes are not divergent in order to develop senior electromechanical engineers as its goal.
