Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering

Mechatronics is a synergy of mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, computer engineering and control engineering. Mechatronics is centered on mechanics, electronics, control, software computing, embedded processing, communications, electromagnetism, electro-mechanism, and micro- and nano-technologies. This synergy generates simpler, more economical, reliable and versatile systems. Mechatronics subfields, such as robotics and Internet of Things (IoT), are projected to be the next big technological trends with rapid industry growth due to low-cost sensors, actuators, electronics, computation and communication technologies.

Our Master of Science in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering  program is designed to prepare students for a multi-disciplinary engineering specialty needed in its ever-growing applications in consumer products, manufacturing, transportation systems, security systems, defense systems, aerospace, sports engineering, biomedical systems, and automotive systems. It is offered by the departments of electrical and computer engineering and mechanical engineering.
