Bachelor of Science in mechatronics engineering technology provides graduates real-world experiential education combined with personalized undergraduate experiences in mechanical, electrical, and computer control systems, as well as engineering design and management. The core courses include both mechanical and electrical fundamentals, principles and design concepts with a focus on materials handling systems, automation and manufacturing systems, embedded systems design, and industrial robotic.
This bachelor’s degree program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in today’s highly integrated computer controlled manufacturing. Throughout their curriculum, students are required to take cooperative education (“co-op”) in industry in their second or third year of the program, which often continues and leads to full-time employment. Graduates with a rigorous theoretical education and multidisciplinary technical skills are well prepared for engineering and technology positions in applied design, development, implementation, or oversight and maintenance of electromechanical systems and processes.
We are currently seeking accreditation by the ETAC Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org. Additional information about our Program Educational Objectives, Student Outcomes, and student enrollments and degrees granted can be found on our Engineering Technology accreditation page.
Students are required to complete the core plus one track. A minor is not required. Students in this degree program are not eligible to apply for the Advanced Technology Minor, nor for the Industrial Technology Minor.
MET Program Objectives:
The MET program will produce graduates with knowledge, techniques, problem-solving skills, and leadership abilities who in 5 years will be able to
a) Enter careers in the design, installation, manufacturing, testing, evaluation, technical sales, maintenance, and process & system design.
b) Continue their education in the fields of engineering technology, engineering management or related post-graduate studies
c) Pursue pathways leading to licensure in the field of mechatronics to become professional engineers in OH, Indiana and tens of other states
d) Perform as leaders in the field of mechatronics, bridging over several fields of mechanics, electronics, programming, and controls.
