The mission of the Mechatronics Engineering Technology program is to provide career educational opportunities to students who have a hands-on aptitude and are oriented towards applications. The program is a Synergistic integration of Mechanical systems, Electrical and Electronic systems, Controls, Hydraulics, High Speed Automation, Robotics, Networking, and Computer Systems utilized in modern industry, including Industry 4.0. The program has a strong affiliation with the packaging machinery manufacturing industry. Industrial collaboration and internship reinforces course work and provides real world experience, an invaluable credential sought by industry. Students will complete a Senior Design Project, which is a one-year capstone individual/team project that provides the opportunity to pursue an idea from conception to design, then execute into a demonstrable project.

By participating nationally competed student clubs, student are able to strengthen project management skills and team work.

First year students may participate in a unique program for technical skill development called Discipline Specific Skill Acquisition (DSSA). DSSA will develop an unskilled student into a trained person, with marketable multi-disciplinary skills, in just one year! In addition, you can receive college credits after successful completion of the program and skill badges. The Mechatronics Engineering Technology Bachelor of Science program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc. http://www.abet.org. This ensures that the program is independently reviewed and meets the quality expectation for that profession.
