Overview

Mechatronics engineering is a multi-disciplinary combination of mechanical, electrical and computer engineering. Mechatronics engineering focuses on the precision control of mechanical and machine systems. Control is achieved in today’s modern engineering systems electronically through the use of sensors, actuators and microprocessors. The marriage of modern control systems with mechanical devices is key to the design and development of high-performance engineering systems. Just a few examples of computer-controlled mechanical systems are robots, engine fuel systems, hybrid automobiles, autonomous aerospace vehicles, stair-climbing wheelchairs, garage door openers and alternative power generation systems. Through mechatronics engineering, new avenues of thinking and design can greatly enhance the utility, performance and efficiency of modern machinery and sophisticated mechanical systems.

The joint Mechatronics engineering degree is a unique educational opportunity in which students attend classes on the UNC Asheville campus, and distance education technology is used to deliver a portion of the engineering coursework from Raleigh by live, interactive connection. The Mechatronics curriculum combines the best that two nationally recognized universities have to offer. From NC State University comes the engineering component comprising course work from the Departments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE), Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Mechatronics. Hands-on laboratories are integral to the engineering course work. From the University of North Carolina at Asheville comes Humanities and Social Science component with a rich liberal arts foundation. Students earn a single joint degree from both institutions.
