Mission Statement:
Our goal is to prepare graduates for successful engineering and professional careers and leadership roles with lifelong learning and ethical conduct that will lead them to be engaged good citizens, engineers, and professionals in their community and the world.

Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics)

SZABIST University offers a four-year (eight semesters) BE-Mechatronics Engineering degree program which is accreditated Under Level-II (i.e. OBE Outcome Based Education) by Pakistan Engineering Council. This program has received 7-Stars i.e., World Class rating by Chartered Inspection & Evaluation Committee (CIEC) Sindh. SZABIST University is a pioneer university to offer this program at undergraduate level in the province of Sindh. The program is essentially a day program and consists of 55 courses with a total of 144 credit hours (all electives and certaincourses may be offered in the evening). The program is supported through well-equipped state-of-the-art laboratories. Internship opportunities (6-8 weeks) are provided to meet degree requirement. The maximum time limit to complete the BE-ME degree program is seven years.

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

Upon completion of their degree, the SZABIST BE (Mechatronics) graduates will:
PEO 1: Be mechatronic engineers who are knowledgeable, skillful and able to solve emerging problems within their
organization and society at large.
PEO 2: Have inclination towards research and lifelong learning and be able to promote entrepreneurial ideas.
PEO 3: Be effective engineers with leadership qualities and high morals & professional ethics.

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

Program learning outcomes are as follows:

1. Engineering Knowledge: Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals and Engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems
