B.S. in Mechatronics Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Mechatronics Engineering is an undergraduate engineering program offered at The Universities at Shady Grove by the University of Maryland, College Park, A. James Clark School of Engineering.

The bachelor’s degree is a two-year program designed for students who have completed all UMD lower-level General Education coursework prior to transferring into the program in the fall of their junior year, either from a public Maryland community college or as an internal transfer student from the University of Maryland, College Park.

Mechatronics combines mechanical, electrical and information systems engineering. Mechatronics engineers design, develop and test automated production systems, transportation and vehicle systems, robotics, computer-machine controls and other integrated systems. They also develop new technologies for the automotive and aviation industries and advanced manufacturing operations, often specializing in areas such as robotics, autonomous vehicles and manufacturing systems.

The program provides a fundamental understanding of mechatronic systems analysis and practical experience implementing mechatronic systems in real-world applications.
