The vision of the RME Department is to become a nationally and internationally leading institution of higher learning, building upon the culture and the values of universal science and a center of education and research that generates knowledge and technologies which form the groundwork in shaping the future of the mechatronics fields towards transforming industrial and societal progress in Bangladesh and beyond.
The mission of the RME Department is to provide outcome-based quality education for those students who are able to compete nationally and internationally, able to produce creative and effective solutions to the national needs, conscious to the universal moral values, adherent to the professional ethical codes and to generate and disseminate knowledge and technological essentials to the local and global needs in the fields of mechatronics.
The objectives of the department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering is to focus on integrating mechanical, electrical, electronic, and computer engineering principles to design, develop, and optimize intelligent robotic and mechatronic systems. The department aims to foster innovation, research, and education in automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart technologies.
Students having a minimum 2.5 GPA both in Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) 12 class passed Equivalent from Science with minimum "C" grade in Physics, Mathematics and English may apply for admission. Students completed five O-level subjects and at least two A-level subjects may apply. Out of these 7 subjects, applicants must have a minimum 4 "B" grade & 3 "C" grade respectively. The applicants must have Physics and Mathematics both at O-level and A-level.
To obtain the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering degree, students will have to complete 148 credits.
For a full-time student, the total duration of the program is four years or 12 equal semesters where every year (or level) consists of three semesters (or terms).
Minimum CGPA required to earn B. Sc. in Mechatronics Engineering Degree is 2.30.
7 Years
The University follows modern teaching methods including class lectures, interactive discussion, simulation, lab work, case analysis, and field study. A special feature of Birulia, Savar, Dhaka 1216 University teaching is the tutorial/workshop/lab sessions designed to assist students in learning application of concepts and theories. The medium of instruction in Birulia, Savar, Dhaka 1216 University is English.
Many students joining the university may be coming from Bangla medium schools and therefore would have to adjust to English as the medium of instruction. They may be asked to attend English courses rigorously and special English courses in summer or any other time preceding the semester in which they take regular courses. Similarly, students from non-science backgrounds or who are weak in Mathematics may be asked to attend a remedial course in Mathematics.
A full-time student securing GPA 3.75 at the end of a regular semester will be included in the Dean’s Honor List and for maintaining CGPA 3.75 in successive 3rd and 4th semesters, will be placed in the VC’s Honor List. A student in the VC’s List will be given individual citation. Students with CGPA 3.95 or more will receive Chancellor Award.
Final grade in each course will be given on the basis on the basis of the performance on class attendance, quiz, assignment presentation, midterm test and final examination as indicated below:
| Marks obtained out 100 | Grade | Grade point Equivalent | Remarks |
| 80% and above | A+ | 4.00 | Outstanding |
| 75% to less than 80% | A | 3.75 | Excellent |
| 70% to less than 75% | A- | 3.50 | Very Good |
| 65% to less than 70% | B+ | 3.25 | Good |
| 60% to less than 65% | B | 3.00 | Satisfactory |
