Mechatronics Degree Concentration Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) with a Mechatronics concentration combines electrical engineering and mechanical systems. This program integrates mechanical, electrical, and computer systems to create advanced technological solutions.

The Mechatronics concentration focuses on mechanical design and control systems, preparing graduates for robotics and automation. Students complete a capstone project using Programmable Logic Controllers and microcontroller programming. This program prepares graduates to design, install, maintain, and repair electronic equipment, bridging the gap between engineers and technicians.

Plus, students can complete this bachelor’s degree in just 2.5 years, preparing you to begin contributing to the field sooner.

Knowledge and Skills

Graduates should grow in the following areas:

  • Technical Proficiency:
    Combine hardware and software solutions to address engineering problems and integrate diverse systems.
  • Mechanical Systems and Manufacturing Processes:
