Department of Biomechatronics Engineering is highly devoted to the interdisciplinary education of agricultural and biological engineering since the period of Division of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Agricultural Engineering (1945-1981). During the period of Department of Agricultural Machinery Engineering (1981- 2000), the major theme of the curriculum is to integrate mechanical engineering and domain knowledge of agricultural productions. Mechatronics applied to the biological industry with the concept of automation and industrialization is the core spirit in the period of Department of Bio-Industrial Mechatronics Engineering (2000-2019). After launching the new name as Department of Biomechatronics Engineering (2019-), we promote the education of intellectualized biomechatronic system which integrates Mechanical System, Mechatronic Control, Artificial Intelligence, and Biological Process to cultivate research and development leaders needed for the rapid growth of various categories such as intelligence machinery, wireless network monitoring, Internet of Things (IoT), precision agriculture, plant factories, biomedical engineering, and green and substantial energy technology.

The department’s curriculum integrates essential domain knowledge of mechatronics, engineering sciences, and biological applications with the aims for human well-being and sustainable development. Our graduate education centers on advanced bioengineering studies featuring mechatronics and artificial intelligence. Graduate students choose research topics to tackle agricultural, biomedical, robotic, and/or energy-related problems under professor’s supervision. They deeply learn core and elective courses in the professional field of mechanical system, mechatronic control, artificial intelligence, or biological process according to their thesis or dissertation topics. Meanwhile, our graduate students acquire the capability of mastering expertise, interdisciplinary collaboration, industry-academy crossover, and independent problem-solving through participating in research projects, international symposiums and paper publication. Moreover, students will be empowered with the competency of leading, planning, managing, and treasuring professional ethics and social responsibility in addition to industrial mindset, global perspectives and lifelong learning. In summary, our vision is to incubate next-generation engineering leaders with interdisciplinary spirit, outstanding innovation and integration ability, and professional integrity through our unique biomechatronics engineering education.
