Focus on the development of the electromechanical products that are everywhere in modern life.

Mechatronics Engineering Technology

Mechatronics Engineering Technology Degree

A major in the Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program
in the School of Engineering Technology

This is one of three majors offered for students who seek to contribute at the intersection between manufacturing, electrical, mechanical, and computing areas in primarily industrial environments.

While pursuing a mechatronics degree, you will focus on the development of the electromechanical products that are ubiquitous in modern life, dealing with interconnections that allow electronic control of mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.

ABET

The manufacturing engineering technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s general criteria and program criteria for Manufacturing Engineering Technology and similarly named programs.

One of my favorite things about my program is how classes are structured – not lectures all week, but mixed with labs. This structure builds relationships with team members in class and at the end of 16 weeks you just don’t get a grade. You get great friends!
