The Bachelor of Science in Mechatronics Engineering degree is a fusion of mechanical, electrical and control engineering. Modern manufacturing requires the ability to integrate electronics, controls, software, and mechanical engineering into a range of innovative products and production systems. Students will study concepts using interdisciplinary approaches to design, program, validate, and integrate robotics, automation, and control systems into modern production systems and products. Additionally, students will study core competencies related to mathematics, network security, and programming.
Admission Requirements
Students pursuing the ETSU B.S. degree in Mechatronics Engineering program should apply for admission to East Tennessee State University. In addition to meeting the requirements for general admission, the student must meet the following requirements:
