Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering
The National Aviation Academy (NAA) of «AZAL» CJSC conducts training in the specialty 050629 - "Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering", which provides for specialists training in the design, manufacture, testing and operation of aerospace and industrial robots, as well as mechatronic systems to use in aviation and space industry, production and transport, in automated control, as well as in a number of other areas of technology.
In this specialization, the National Aviation Academy plans to train bachelors mainly in two areas - “Aerospace mechatronic and robotic systems” and “Remotely controlled robots”.
When studying in the specialty "Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering", it is planned to form students as highly qualified specialists in the design, software, production, installation and calibration of mechatronic and robotic devices and systems for modern aviation, space technology, manned and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as for medicine, energy complexes, military industry, oil and gas, petrochemical, and other industries.
The educational program in the specialty 050629 – “Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering” covers modern requirements imposed on specialists involved in the production and operation of robotic and mechatronic systems, industrial and non-industrial robots. The development of the program was based on the experience gained by leading scientific and educational centres, industrial enterprises and companies involved in mechatronics and robotic systems, as well as the requirements applied to specialists in this field.
A special place in the educational program in the specialty 050629 - “Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering” (the NAA) is given to mechatronics and robotics systems used in the aerospace and civil aviation. The creation and use of these systems is regulated pursuant to the requirements of Azerbaijan and international organizations.
The standard period of study in the specialty 050629 - “Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering” is 4 years for undergraduate students in the Azerbaijani and Russian departments, and 5 years - for the English department.
In the course of the 050629 specialty educational process, it is envisaged that students will receive engineering knowledge in the field of hardware and software of computing systems, information technology, computer modeling, computer-aided design of systems, as well as in other areas.

"Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering" is a state-of-the-art engineering specialty that has emerged and is developing as a result of the close integration of mechanics, electronics and computer technologies, modernization of control systems applied in the Aerospace Industry, Industry, Transport and other fields, as well as due to the use of Intelligent Devices and robots. "Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering" is a field of technology to ensure the creation and development of systems that can adapt to various conditions. Simply put, Mechatronics and Robotics consist of motor systems intended to generate mechanical energy, mechanical systems to transmit generated power, sensors to register changes, microelectronics to control the system as well as computer software to control the entire system.
Graduates of this specialty can work in areas where robotic and mechatronic systems are widely used: in the aerospace industry, automated production, electronics, energy, medical technology, as well as in other areas.
The sphere of professional activity of graduates in this specialty may also include research and technologies aimed at obtaining, registering and processing information about the environment, biological and technical objects, the development and application of mechatronic systems for monitoring the technical condition and parameters of objects.
In order to perfectly assimilate theoretical and practical knowledge by students of technical specialties, as well as the specialty "Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering" of the National Academy of Aviation (NAA), laboratories "Electronics and Electrical Engineering", "Electrical Measurements and Automation", "Digital Technology and Circuit Engineering" as well as "House of Student Creativity" were created, which are equipped with modern devices, models and instruments, and speciadlized classes equipped with visual aids and technical means were established.
