BAS Mechatronics Engineering Technology (MET) Program

Mechatronics Engineering Technology, B.A.S.

The Mechatronics Engineering Technology program equips students with the skills to integrate mechanical, electrical and computer engineering for developing and maintaining advanced automated systems. It can be completed 100% online or through a combination of online and in-person coursework. The curriculum covers robotics, control systems, sensors and actuators, and provides hands-on experience with industry-standard equipment and AI integration.

Students work in two state-of-the-art labs within the College of Engineering and Computer Science, honing their skills for advanced automated systems. Strong industry connections facilitate valuable networking opportunities, internships and job placements. Our faculty—seasoned professionals and research experts—offer practical experience and cutting-edge knowledge. Graduates are prepared for careers in manufacturing, automotive and aerospace.

Mechatronics Engineering Technology Minor

A minor in Mechatronics Engineering Technology exposes students with computer science, engineering, science and math backgrounds to key topics in mechatronics, automation, robotics and system integration through six specialized courses. This minor pairs well with degrees in computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, adding valuable interdisciplinary skills that enhance career opportunities and technical expertise. The Department of Engineering Management and Technology offers a top-tier education with low tuition and abundant scholarship opportunities, making college more affordable and accessible to a wider range of students. 

Joint Undergraduate to Master’s Program

Qualified students can participate in the UTC Joint Undergraduate to Master’s Program (JUMP). JUMP allows students to take and earn credit for graduate courses while completing their undergraduate degrees, reducing the time and cost to complete a master’s degree. Students not enrolled in the JUMP program still can take up to nine credit hours of graduate-level coursework in the College of Engineering and Computer Science. Learn more about JUMP.
