BS Mechatronics Engineering
The Bachelor of Science degree in Mechatronics Engineering successfully prepares graduates with knowledge across engineering disciplines for professional careers in mechatronics, controls, robotics, automation and other engineering fields that provide solutions to technical challenges and address societal needs. The program integrates mechanical, electrical, computer and controls engineering to understand automated machinery, specifically, how to design it and make it work. Mechatronics engineering revolves around the design, construction and operation of automated systems, robots and intelligent products, which result from the integration of software and hardware.
Using automated systems is becoming more popular for operating equipment or machinery on manufacturing lines, boilers and aircraft to reduce labor costs; increase precision and accuracy; and provide quality and safety for workers. Mechatronic devices can be found in agriculture, hospitals, buildings, homes, automobiles, manufacturing plants, the toy and entertainment industry and aids for the elderly and disabled.
Applicants to this program should understand that this is a math-intensive program.
Students may apply early to the M.S. degree in Mechatronics Engineering and double count 9 credit hours of graduate courses toward both degree programs. See the Combined Bachelor's/Master's Degree Program policy in the University Catalog for more information.
