Description:
The program integrates mechanical, electrical, computer, and controls knowledge. Mechatronics engineering technology focuses on the design, construction, and operation of automated systems, robots, and intelligent products, which result from the integration of software and hardware. 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, 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.
Careers:
- Electro-mechanical and mechatronics technologists and technicians
- Electrical and electronic engineering technologists and technicians
- Mechanical engineering technologists and technicians
- Architectural and engineering managers
Other:
- The program is delivered in person on the Kent Campus.
- Students wishing to change their major to Mechatronics Engineering Technology must take PHY 23101 and PHY 23102. Failing to do so will result in additional coursework.
- Students may apply early to the Master of Engineering Technology degree and double count 9 credit hours of graduate courses toward both degree programs.
