Mechatronics engineering is a newly established program offered by the A. James Clark School of Engineering at The Universities at Shady Grove. This tailored program is designed to address the growing need for engineers with the combined skills of mechanical, electrical, and information systems engineering.
About Mechatronics Engineering
Mechatronics engineering is the combination of mechanical, electrical, and information systems engineering.
Mechatronics engineers help design, develop, and test automated production systems, transportation and vehicle systems, robotics systems, computer-machine controls, and other integrated systems.
They also develop new technologies for use in industries such as automotive, aviation, and advanced manufacturing, and will often specialize in areas such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, and manufacturing systems.
Why Mechatronics Engineering at UMD?
The Bachelor of Science in mechatronics engineering is a new undergraduate engineering program offered by the University of Maryland A. James Clark School of Engineering at The Universities at Shady Grove campus.
The bachelor's degree is a two-year program designed for students who have completed all prerequisite coursework prior to transferring into the program in the fall of their junior year, either from a community college or as an internal transfer student from the University of Maryland.
Program Admissions
The Mechatronics Engineering (ENMT) program at the Universities At Shady Grove is a Fall admission-only program. Students who have satisfactorily completed the ENMT prerequisite requirements at any accredited institution are eligible for direct admission into the program.
