The Bachelor of Science in Electronic Systems Engineering Technology at the Virginia Beach and Newport News, VA campuses and Online are accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.

Mechatronics (ESET) Program Overview

ESET graduates function in multidisciplinary teams to design, install, maintain, and repair systems, components, or processes meeting specific needs for engineering applications. They serve as a link between engineers and technicians in the workplace where they play a key role from the conception of electronic systems until their implementation. They are involved in the development, testing, production, and quality assurance of electronic and mechanical components and/or systems. Additionally, if you'd like to learn about the manufacturing gap creating career opportunities in Mechatronics view our infographic, here.

The curriculum provides ESET graduates with the education and foundation needed for employment in a variety of industries in the private and public sector, including the computer industry, homeland security, automation and manufacturing, and education.

Mechatronics concentration graduates are employed in a wide spectrum of areas in positions such as engineering consultant, electrical engineering or computer engineering technologist, product engineer, or project manager.

Through ECPI University's year-round schedule, you could earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronic Systems Engineering Technology with a concentration in Mechatronics in as little as 2.5 years.

Mechatronics (ESET) Outcomes

Graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Electronic Systems Engineering Technology program are expected to attain the following objectives within a few years of graduation:

  • Apply acquired technical and analytical skills as it relates to their professional positions in electrical, electronic, and related industries
  • Apply relative mathematical, science, and engineering methods to solve technical problems
  • Analyze and implement complex systems including both hardware and software
  • Pursue lifelong learning and successful professional careers
  • Perform as effective team members through adequate oral and written communication skills
  • Relate and exercise an educated judgment in regards to their professional and ethical responsibilities

Program Outcomes

Students in the Bachelor of Science in Electronic Systems Engineering Technology program learn to design and integrate electronic systems through a strong foundation in analog and digital electronics. They are able to apply the acquired engineering and mathematical principles to implement and improve systems and/or processes for engineering applications.

Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Electronic Systems Engineering Technology, graduates should be able to:

  • Apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline
  • Design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline
  • Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature
  • Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes
  • Function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team

Mechatronics Concentration

  • Create 2D and 3D designs for engineering parts using CAD software
  • Implement hydraulic and pneumatic systems
  • Analyze forces and their effects on systems
