BS Mechatronics Engineering Technology
The Bachelor of Science degree in Mechatronics Engineering Technology successfully prepares graduates with knowledge across engineering disciplines for professional careers in mechatronics, controls, robotics, automation and related technological fields that provide solutions addressing societal needs and challenges. The program integrates mechanical, electrical, computer and controls. Mechatronics engineering technology 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/machinery in a host of situations, including on assembly and manufacturing lines, on automobiles and aircraft and in electrical power generations to reduce labor costs, increase precision and accuracy and provide quality and safety for workers.
Graduates from the mechatronics engineering technology program manage and support the design, operation and analysis of mechanical and electrical devices connected with automated systems, robots and computer-integrated manufacturing. They can work in any company that develops, designs or manufactures and markets these devices. Opportunities exist in manufacturing sales as well as research.
Applicants to this program should understand that this is a math-intensive program.
Students may apply early to the Master of Engineering Technology degree 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.
