What is Mechatronics?
Mechatronic technology is an interdisciplinary field that combines the study of mechanics, electronics, automation, and computers. The program includes a wide range of skill-builder courses.
The Associate in Science in Mechatronic Technology is designed to provide students with knowledge and skills required for a variety of positions in the following industries.
- Advanced Manufacturing/Semiconductor
- Electrical/Electronics
- Mechanical/Quality
- Transportation/Logistics
- Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
- Medical Equipment
- Biotechnology
- Aerospace/Defense
- Construction.
There's a popular saying in STEM that we 'stand on the shoulders of giants' and I've grown to resonate with this type of intellectual collaboration. In my case, my Engineering and Physics professors from Mission were those giants.
