  • This degree can be started in the fall. See a counselor to adjust the coursework.

Other Notes:

  • At the end of semester 2, students qualify for the Robotics certificate.
  • At the end of semester 3, students qualify for the Basic Mechatronics certificate.
  • At the end of semester 4, students qualify for the Mechatronics certificate.
  • An internship (ET 298) is highly recommended as it opens up potential employment opportunities. Students can earn between 0.5 – 4.0 units for related paid or unpaid work experience including volunteer and internship positions through ET 298. This course also works toward satisfying GE Area IIIb. See the Work Experience website for more information.
