Mechatronics

The minor in Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary program at the intersection of mechanics and electronics. It combines principles from mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering as well as computer science. Through this program, students explore the design, development, and application of smart systems, such as robotics, automation, and embedded systems, which are increasingly prevalent in modern technology. The curriculum emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience through a mix of theoretical course work and practical laboratory-based activities. Students engage in projects that challenge them to apply engineering concepts to real-world problems, enhancing their problem-solving, critical thinking, and innovation skills. This minor is ideal for students seeking to complement their major with a focus on the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of mechatronics, preparing them for diverse career opportunities in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, healthcare, and more.
