Mechatronics Engineering Technology
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the baccalaureate degree, students in the Mechatronics Engineering Technology program are expected to:
- Use computer-aided drafting or design tools to prepare graphical representations of electromechanical systems;
- Use circuit analysis, analog and digital electronics, basic instrumentation, and computers to aid in the characterization, analysis, and troubleshooting of electromechanical systems;
- Use statics, dynamics (or applied mechanics), strength of materials, engineering materials, engineering standards, and manufacturing processes to aid in the characterization, analysis, and troubleshooting of electromechanical systems;
- Use appropriate computer programming languages for operating electromechanical systems;
- Use electrical/electronic devices such as amplifiers, motors, relays, power systems, and computer and instrumentation systems for applied design, operation, or troubleshooting electromechanical systems;
- Use advanced topics in engineering mechanics, engineering materials, and fluid mechanics for applied design, operation, or troubleshooting of electromechanical systems;
- Use basic knowledge of control systems for the applied design, operation, or troubleshooting of electromechanical systems;
- Use differential and integral calculus, as a minimum, to characterize the static and dynamic performance of electromechanical systems; and
- Use appropriate management techniques in the investigation, analysis, and design of electromechanical systems.
Accreditation and/or Program/Cluster Review
Bowling Green State University [BGSU] is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. BGSU has been accredited by the Higher Learning Commission since 01/01/1916. The most recent reaffirmation of accreditation was received in 2012 - 2013. Questions should be directed to the Office of Institutional Effectiveness.
The Mechatronics Engineering Technology program is in the process of obtaining accreditation by the Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET). For more information, click here.
Professional Licensure (If applicable)
Bowling Green State University programs leading to licensure, certification and/or endorsement, whether delivered online, face-to-face or in a blended format, satisfy the academic requirements for those credentials set forth by the State of Ohio.
Requirements for licensure, certification and/or endorsement eligibility vary greatly from one profession to another and from state to state. The Mechatronics Engineering Technology program does not lead to professional licensure.
Gainful Employment (If applicable)
Under the Higher Education Act Title IV disclosure requirements, an institution must provide current and prospective students with information about each of its programs that prepares students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation.
The Mechatronics Engineering Technology program is not a recognized occupation that requires a Gainful Employment disclosure.
