Founded in 2002 by merging the former Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Aircraft Manufacturing Engineering, the School of Mechatronics is one of the largest and most successful in NPU. With its remarkably broad spectrum of disciplines, it offers excellent opportunities and exceptional environment for research and education. The departments involved are Aeronautics & Astronautics Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Automation, Biomedical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Industrial Design.

The School has incorporated a team of renowned experts in Mechanical Engineering and has formed a team of faculty members who are excellent both in education and in academic research. Currently, there are 135 faculty members in the School including 34 full professors, 66 associate professors and senior engineers and one Yangze River Scholar. The School has a total enrollment of over 2948 full-time students, among which there are 1672 undergraduate students, 907 graduate students and 369 Ph. D. candidates.
