Mechatronics Engineering Technology Degree Program Overview
Purdue University Northwest’s Mechatronics Engineering Technology 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.
Department of Engineering Technology
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 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:
- 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.
