Bachelor of Science in Engineering-Mechatronics Systems
Mechatronics Systems
Mechatronics Systems is a multidisciplinary engineering program that combines narrow, focused depth in several fields: mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering. First, students complete a core set of engineering courses to provide a solid foundation in computer, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering principles. Then, Mechatronics Systems students complete a set of twelve upper-level concentration courses. Ten required concentration courses provide depth in math, electrical engineering, computer engineering, and mechanical engineering. Students customize their program’s depth with a selection of two concentration electives from a range of computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering courses.
The plan of study shown below incorporates the ten required Mechatronics Systems courses into the BSE's general plan of study. The two courses labeled "CONCENTRATION ELECTIVE COURSE" refer to the selections from the "Select Two of the Following" category shown on the Engineering's Curriculum page.
