• Mechatronics Engineering is an innovative degree combining practical skills from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. Graduates will be well-skilled at the immense hands-on application of robotic technology and can select from a wide spectrum of industries for career choices.
  • The mechatronics engineering program seeks to produce graduates who:
    • Meet requirements that will enable them to pursue and achieve registration as professional engineers in the state of Georgia and other states.
    • Demonstrates career advancement with increasing responsibility in the Mechatronics Engineering industry or allied disciplines.
    • Possess effective research and development skills that will enable engagement in graduate education and professional development in Mechatronics Engineering or related fields.
  • Mechatronic systems can be a complete product or a sub-component of a product. Examples of mechatronic systems include aircraft flight control and navigation systems; automotive electronic fuel injection and anti-lock brake systems; automated manufacturing systems including robots, numerical control machining centers, packaging systems, and plastic injection-molding systems; artificial organs; health monitoring and surgical systems; copy machines; and many more. Some common element of all these systems is the integration of analog and digital circuits, microprocessors and computers, mechanical devices, sensors, actuators, and controls.

  • Mechatronics Engineering graduates can select from a wide spectrum of industries for career choices and can also contribute in a variety of roles including design engineer, software engineer, project planner, product designer, and project manager. Mechatronics Engineering program graduates are able to select from jobs as Mechatronics specialists in a variety of industries. Opportunities are also available to graduates in smaller companies that need generalists who can perform both mechanical and electrical engineering functions.
