Program Educational Objectives

Graduates of this program will

be prepared to hold technical positions that require analysis, applied design, development, implementation, and oversight of mechatronic systems and automated processes.
have the knowledge, problem-solving ability and hands-on skills to be successful in careers in the design, commissioning, testing, evaluation, technical sales, or maintenance of mechatronic systems.
appreciate the need for, and will pursue, self-directed professional development opportunities, such as graduate work, additional trainings, and participation in professional organizations.

Mechatronics Program Student Outcomes

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