Mechatronics Engineering, B.S.

Mechatronics Engineering prepares students to meet the growing need for a local workforce with technical skills necessary to solve real-world problems. Students receive hands-on technical training in electrical systems, mechanical systems, and computer programming culminating in a year-long designing experience. The program is designed to allow students to finish their degree in four years or two years for transfer students meeting entry requirements.
