Mechatronics & Robotics

Degree Details

Mechanical engineering is the knowledge of the design and manufacture of mechanical systems and thermal devices and processes. Some examples of products and processes developed by mechanical engineers include engines and control systems for automobiles and aircraft, electric power generation plants, lifesaving mechanical devices, robotics and a wide variety of consumer products. Mechanical engineers are needed to design or improve manufacturing processes in a team setting.

The Mechatronics and Robotics concentration focuses on designing products that integrate mechanical, electrical and electronic components connected by a control scheme. This interdisciplinary program equips applied engineers with skills in mechanical, electrical and smart technologies, preparing them to develop innovative technology vital to advanced manufacturing and automation and modern product design, such as robots and other smart machines
