Program Information for Mechatronics Engineering Technology - B.S.

Program Description

Full Description

The Bachelor of Science degree in Mechatronics Engineering Technology successfully prepares graduates with knowledge across engineering disciplines for professional careers in mechatronics, controls, robotics, automation and related technological fields that provide solutions addressing societal needs and challenges. The program integrates mechanical, electrical, computer and controls. Mechatronics engineering technology revolves around the design, construction and operation of automated systems, robots and intelligent products, which result from the integration of software and hardware.

Using automated systems is becoming more popular for operating equipment/machinery in a host of situations, including on assembly and manufacturing lines, on automobiles and aircraft and in electrical power generations to reduce labor costs, increase precision and accuracy and provide quality and safety for workers.

Graduates from the mechatronics engineering technology program manage and support the design, operation and analysis of mechanical and electrical devices connected with automated systems, robots and computer-integrated manufacturing. They can work in any company that develops, designs or manufactures and markets these devices. Opportunities exist in manufacturing sales as well as research.

Applicants to this program should understand that this is a math-intensive program.

Students may apply early to the  and double count 9 credit hours of graduate courses toward both degree programs. See the  policy in the University Catalog for more information.

Admissions for Mechatronics Engineering Technology - B.S.

Effective for the fall 2025 admission term:

Admission to the Mechatronics Engineering Technology major is selective.

New Students: Admission into this major requires a minimum 2.700 unweighted high school GPA. Students who do not meet this requirement will be admitted to the Applied Engineering and Technology Management concentration of the . Students may change their major to Mechatronics Engineering Technology after satisfying the below requirements for current students.

Note: Applicants should understand that this is a math-intensive program. Students admitted to the program are expected to demonstrate prerequisite knowledge on a math placement exam (the ALEKS exam) prior to starting their first semester. Students who do not obtain the minimum score required to place into MATH 11022 or MATH 12011 are at risk of delaying graduation.

Current Students: Students may change their major to Mechatronics Engineering Technology if they meet the following criteria:

  • Minimum 2.500 overall 麻豆影院 State GPA
  • Minimum C grade in both and
  • Minimum C grade in either or

Transfer Students: Transfer students must have completed minimum 12 credit hours of college-level coursework with a minimum 2.500 overall GPA for admission to the Mechatronics Engineering Technology major. Students with less than 12 credit hours completed will be evaluated based on their high school transcript using the criteria in the above "new student" section.

International Students: All international students must provide proof of English language proficiency (unless they meet specific exceptions to waive) by earning a minimum 71 TOEFL iBT score, minimum 6.0 IELTS score, minimum 47 PTE score or minimum 100 DET score, or by completing the ELS level 112 Intensive English Program.
