Why Choose Mechatronics and Industrial Engineering?

The associate degree in mechatronics and industrial engineering will combine mechanical engineering components with software engineering, electronics, and telecommunications. You will study how electromechanical processes affect other equipment, including equipment that relates to robotics, control systems, and electro-mechanical systems.

The program also provides the pathway for you to earn a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, which is offered at the Lake Campus and Dayton campus, or industrial and systems engineering, which is offered online or at the Dayton campus.

Program outcomes 

• You will demonstrate effective written, oral, and digital communication skills
• You will demonstrate an applied knowledge of mechanics, materials, programmable logic controlling, manufacturing, and circuits
• You will demonstrate an applied knowledge of math and science in engineering design and analysis
• You will apply hands-on skills to solve problems and deal with challenging situations in practical manufacturing problem solving
• You will develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

Careers

Mechatronics specialists work in artificial intelligence, automotive engineering, computer science, consumer products and packaging, cybersecurity, robotics, telecommunications, and other fields. 

Real-World Experience

In this program, you will apply hands-on skills to solve problems and deal with challenging situations in practical manufacturing problem solving. You can gain hands-on experience through a variety of community-based programs, service-learning opportunities, internships, and research projects.
