Mechatronics Engineering Technology Degree Program Overview

Purdue University Northwest’s Mechatronics Engineering Technology degree program combines mechanical design, manufacturing, robotics and electrical control, all centered around the foundations of packaging machinery. Students will obtain valuable skills needed in the advanced manufacturing industry, as well as healthcare, automotive, and other industries.

You can also benefit from internships offered by local packaging industries and become very mobile with career opportunities available nationwide.

Why Study Mechatronics Engineering Technology at PNW?

In this program, students are trained with cutting-edge technology and develop the in-demand skills that employers seek, including Industry 4.0 technologies that are transforming the manufacturing industry. Students will learn from faculty members who have a wealth of real-world experience, are leaders in their respective disciplines, and dedicated mentors who share both theoretical and hands-on engineering knowledge.

Our mechatronics engineering technology program is the first of its kind in the nation to be accredited by ETAC-ABET.

Program Educational Objectives

Program Educational Objective One

The program will produce graduates that are prepared for successful careers in the areas associated with the analysis, applied design, development, implementation, and oversight of advanced mechatronic systems.

Program Educational Objective Two

The program will produce graduates that advance in their careers and continue their professional development.

Program Educational Objective Three

The program will produce graduates that understand the overall human context in which engineering technology activities take place.

Graduates of the Mechatronics Engineering Technology program will demonstrate (Student Outcomes):

• an ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
• an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
• an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
• an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
• an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

Mechatronics Engineering Technology Major Curriculum

You’ll take a balance of general education courses, College of Technology core courses and mechatronics engineering technology courses.

Our curriculum is a synergistic blend of mechanical, electrical, control, hydraulics, automation, robotics, networking and computer systems technology with a focus on building the interdisciplinary skills necessary for today’s industry.

Introductory courses prepare the foundation for Mechatronics by blending fundamental courses related to electrical, electronics, and mechanical disciplines, including hands-on machining.

SAMPLE COURSES

• ECET 10900 Digital Fundamentals
• MET 10000 Production Drawing and Computer-Aided Design
• MET 24200 Manufacturing Processes II

Deeper knowledge is built by integrating theory with extensive hands-on laboratory training, mathematics, science, and electrical motors.

SAMPLE COURSES

• MET 21300 Dynamics
