Mechatronics Engineering Technology

Are you interested in a high-impact engineering technology career? Are you excited by the prospect of creating smart machines and innovating solutions? PennWest’s Mechatronics Engineering Technology degree helps you get there. It bridges the gap between technicians who are primarily hands-on and engineers who are more theoretical and design focused.

A combination of mechanical and electrical engineering, computer science and control systems, this four-year mechatronics program provides the ideal balance of theory and hands-on learning that employers want and need.

Unique in Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education, PennWest’s undergraduate mechatronics degree blends classroom theory with hands-on learning. Working with experienced professors, you’ll learn to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development, operation and evaluation of computer-controlled electro-mechanical systems and products.

The program focuses on industrial robots and automated systems. You’ll gain experience in state-of-the-art labs and through partnerships with national and international organizations. You’ll have the opportunity to apply your knowledge in real-world settings through valuable internships.

Whether you want to create manufacturing robots or design new anti-lock brakes, this mechatronics program helps prepare you for a top career in the engineering, design and manufacturing industries.
