The Department of Mechatronic Engineering in the School of Mechanical Engineering was established in 2006 by integrating the disciplines of electronic equipment structure, electronic machinery, and mechatronic control. The department currently has 27 full-time faculty members, including 9 professors and 13 associate professors. There are over 100 doctoral and master’s students.

The discipline of Mechatronic Engineering primarily focuses on the design, manufacturing, and control technology of the integrated intelligent equipment involving mechanics, electronics, and hydraulics. Typical research subjects include robotics, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, CNC machine tools, non-standard automated machines, and intelligent manufacturing equipment. The department has Jiangsu Electromagnetic Compatibility Research Center, Equipment Intelligent Technology Research Center, Robotics and Biomechatronic Laboratory, and Bionic Robotics Laboratory. The main research fields are robotics and biomechanical electronic technology, electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic environmental effects, intelligent detection and operation of equipment, mechatronic system engineering and intelligent manufacturing, and electronic machinery and non-standard automation.

Over the past five years, the department has undertaken over 10 projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, more than 20 projects at the provincial and ministerial levels, over 30 military projects, and over 70 projects commissioned by enterprises. During this period, the department has published approximately 200 SCI-indexed papers, including in top journals such as IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics and IEEE-ASME Transactions on Mechatronics. Additionally, more than 260 invention patents have been applied for or authorized. Several textbooks and monographs, such as Mechatronic Control Technology and Electronic Precision Mechanical Design have been published. The department has led the formulation of 15 national standards and military standards for electromagnetic compatibility. Furthermore, it has received 5 awards at the provincial and ministerial levels.

The department has established fruitful exchange and cooperation relationships with world-renowned universities such as University of Michigan, Arizona State University, University of Auckland, and National University of Singapore. Additionally, the department has forged strong collaborations with leading domestic enterprises such as Eaton, Tongfu Microelectronics, and Nanjing High Speed Gear Manufacturing Co., Ltd., enhancing cooperative ties in the fields of production, academia, and research.

In the past five years, over 30 doctoral students and more than 150 master’s students graduated from the department. They have been primarily engaged in cutting-edge research areas such as robotics, intelligent equipment and automation, medical and rehabilitation equipment, and electromagnetic compatibility. Over 80% of the graduates have taken up key roles in core research and management positions in industries related to CNC machine tools, robotics, medical devices, automation, communication, and IT. In addition, some of the graduates have pursued research and technology development roles in various higher education institutions and defense-related enterprises.
