Program Description

Mechatronics interweaves electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering technology with applications in automated industrial processes and robotics. Mechatronics professionals are the technicians and engineers who design and maintain automated equipment. Technicians and engineers conduct their work in laboratories, offices or on-site at manufacturing plants. These professionals work toward the same goal of producing safe and efficient automated equipment. While technicians primarily maintain machinery, engineers are more concerned with the design and development of components and products. A mechatronics technology graduate will design, adapt, and troubleshoot electro-mechanical systems that are controlled by programmable digital devices.

Program Advantages

  • Combines strength in electrical and mechanical engineering technology.

  • Broad background to fit many possibilities and small employers.

  • Learn in laboratories outfitted with excellent electronic test equipment.

  • Hands-on metal and circuit board fabrication facilities.

  • Program different devices to perform electromechanical tasks

With a BS degree in Mechatronics Technology and within 3 – 5 years from graduating, students will be able to do the following working in an engineering or technical industry.

  • Work collaboratively to solve complex problems using critical thinking and creative problem-solving methods. 

  • Gain a reputation as an effective communicator and for ethical responsibility as an individual contributor and as part of a multidisciplinary team. 

  • Take the initiative to continuously improve by engaging in life-long learning through professional development, continuing education, licensure, and certifications to adapt to a technologically advancing society. 

  • Support or lead complex problem-solving teams using appropriate techniques, skills, and tools to analyze and interpret data. 

  • Hold paramount socially responsible and sustainable design.

Professional Outlook

Employment and continuing education rate of 100 percent – 100 percent are employed.
