Mechatronics Engineering Undergraduate Program is an undergraduate program that aims to educate engineers who can design processes by combining techniques of not only mechanical and electronics engineering but also computer science and mathematics to provide solutions to the needs and problems of the modern society with a research based methodology. Mechatronics Engineering program stands out as a multidisciplinary program combining the basic techniques of electronics and mechanical engineering and computer science and mathematics to provide solutions to modern world engineering problems. Graduates of Mechatronics Engineering Program, self-esteemed, innovative and curious for new developments, can efficiently work in multidisciplinary environments and therefore are very suitable to team-work and conduct their occupation properly according to the ethical and scientific regulations.

Education and training are carried out in the form of formal education. In addition, students do internships in laboratories, research centers, workshops, or workplaces within the scope of applied education.

Graduates of the program will be able to;

The assessment and evaluation methods applied for each course are defined according to Article 18 of the Istanbul Bilgi University Credit System Undergraduate and Associate Degree Education and Examination Regulation (https://www.mevzuat.gov.tr/anasayfa/MevzuatFihristDetayIframe?MevzuatTur=8&MevzuatNo=7701&MevzuatTertip=5). Except for courses that do not require exams such as projects, graduation projects, laboratory courses, etc., there is a final exam and at least one midterm exam for all courses. There may also be quizzes and homework may be assigned to students.  Final exams are held during the exam period specified in the academic calendar. The dates and venues of the final exams are determined by the Rectorate, and the classroom and proctor information is first shared with the academic staff by the Planning Unit. Then it is announced to the students.

1. YÖK audits

The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for the planning, organization, management and supervision of education, training and other activities carried out in monitoring the quality of higher education programs. For this reason, "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" of higher education institutions are published every year within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK. Based on these reports, reports containing qualitative and quantitative evaluations of higher education institutions are shared with the public by YÖK. In addition, the Council of Higher Education publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" on foundation higher education institutions every year. In this report, academic, administrative and financial data on foundation higher education institutions are shared.

Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs". Accordingly, the following steps are followed.

1. The process of creating and approving undergraduate departments and programs:

• Determining the minimum standards and criteria for the opening of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions,
• The curriculum of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes of the program are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles and principles determined by YÖK.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: Determining how the learning outcomes will be measured and evaluated, based on the basic principles set by the Council of Higher Education and the education, training and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions.
3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs are entitled to receive an undergraduate diploma if they successfully complete the course credits and obligations such as internship / graduation project and grade point average determined by higher education institutions.

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation:

• Higher education institutions are required to submit their "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports (IER)" for the previous year every year. To enter the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK).
• YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" on the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public.

2. Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs (MÜDEK) accreditation

Istanbul Bilgi University Mechatronics Engineering Undergraduate Program has MÜDEK accreditation valid from 01 May 2022 until 30 September 2027.

3. Corporate Quality Activities

The University was the first higher education institution in Turkey to be accredited by WSCUC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges Senior College and University Commission) and has developed specific processes for program learning outcomes assessment and program review.
