Converged Mechanical Systems

Based on traditional mechanical engineering, this major integrates education and research with information and communication technology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and eco-friendly energy technologies. The goal is to train young researchers who can address various challenges related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the new climate regime, which have emerged as critical issues for the nation and industry. To achieve this, the program is divided into three specialized areas: Robots & Manufacturing Equipment, Nanomechatronics, and Eco-friendly & Energy Machinery, enabling in-depth study.


The Nanomechatronics specialization focuses on education and research in essential and advanced topics required for studying areas such as nano-processes and equipment technology, nano-materials and device technology, nano-mechanics-based measurement, evaluation, and device transfer technology, as well as bioinspired surfaces and sensor technology.
Prerequisite undergraduate courses include solid mechanics, mechanics of materials, mechanical design, and machining. After enrolling in UST, students will study subjects such as nanomechatronics, nano-processes and devices, nano-mechanics measurement, and bioinspired engineering. The program is designed to maximize the advantages of the academic-industry collaboration system by applying the skills acquired in the foundational and advanced courses directly to practical research at laboratories. Students are also trained in applied technologies that can be readily implemented in industrial settings, preparing them to become experts in nano-processes, equipment, and measurement technologies at both national and international levels.
