Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanics, electronics, and computer controls with the intent to design better consumer and industrial products more efficiently and effectively. With the emergence of new materials, smaller and faster electronics, and advanced computer controls, products are being designed to seamlessly incorporate all of these new technologies. Mechatronic technicians are responsible for integrating and incorporating these inter-disciplinary, cutting-edge technologies to design these new products. The Mechatronics Technology Associate in Applied Science degree program is designed to prepare students for a career in the inter-disciplinary field of mechatronics design, integrating CAD, mechanics, electronics, and computer controls. The curriculum incorporates existing courses from the Mechanical Design and Drafting/CAD, Electronics, and Information Management Systems career programs. This A.A.S. degree can also be used to articulate into a Mechatronic Engineering Technology Bachelor of Science degree program at partner universities.
