CIP CODE: 15.0407
HEGIS CODE: 5311.00
Mission
The Mechatronics Certificate Program prepares graduates to enter the workforce in a wide range of industries with the skills necessary to work on electro-mechanical systems. System-level analysis, control systems, troubleshooting techniques, and repair of electrical and mechanical devices is emphasized with a focus on hands-on laboratory experiences to complement classroom-based instruction.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Measure and analyze site and system data.
- Write basic digital control code using Programmable Logic devices (PLCs).
- Troubleshoot problems and optimize electro-mechanical systems.
- Repair electrical and mechanical devices.
- Design a mechatronic system with industry standard nomenclature and symbols.

Program Description
A mechatronics certificate integrates mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and control engineering to design, develop, and control advanced systems. Students study dynamics, thermodynamics, and materials science from mechanical engineering. They also study circuits, electronics, and power systems from electrical engineering, and programming languages and algorithms from computer science, while also incorporating feedback control systems and signal processing from control engineering.
