Mechatronics: Advanced Technology in Mechatronics

Mechatronics is the applied engineering study of industrial systems. These systems can range from simple baking ovens to elaborate machinery for high-volume production of components. Every system contains mechanical, electrical, or fluid-powered building blocks. Mechatronics students learn the fundamentals of these individual components through fundamental math, measurement techniques, computer aided design (CAD), and problem-solving skills. These individual components are then integrated using programming, networking and coding to create working automation systems. A mechatronics education spans multiple disciplines so a mechatronics engineering technician can design, build and analyze an entire standalone automation system.  

The Advanced Technology in Mechatronics Career Studies Certificate provides students with hands-on instruction in mechanical, electrical and computer systems in preparation for the Siemens Mechatronics Systems Certification.
