Bachelor of Science in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering

Trine University’s Bachelor of Science in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering degree is built on mechanical and electrical engineering principles, with an additional mechatronics and robotics core that prepares graduates for the practice of robotics engineering at the professional level. You will graduate the program with a breadth and depth of knowledge to address technical issues.

Mission

The mission of the Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering program at Trine University is to enable students to gain employment in the multidisciplinary field of mechatronics and develop automated systems and smart solutions to solve tomorrow’s industry challenges.

Program Objectives

The mechatronics and robotics engineering program meet the needs of students, alumni, employers, and the faculty by assuring that a few years after graduation:

  1. Our graduates are prepared to apply principle of mechanical and electrical engineering to the practice of engineering at the professional level of robotics, mechatronics and related industries; and
  2. Our graduates engage in lifelong learning and serve their professions and community.

Outcomes

The mechatronics and robotics engineering program assures that graduates will be able to:

  1. Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics.
  2. Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economics factors.
  3. Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economics, environmental and societal contexts.
  5. Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  6. Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions.
  7. Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
