Abstract
Mechatronics Degrees are very common in Japan and Europe but just started gaining momentum in the United States. In 2019, Department of Applied Computing (AC) in the College of Computing at Michigan Tech pioneered Master of Science (MS) degree in mechatronics that allows pathways for traditional and technology-oriented engineering students in the advance graduate studies. In addition, students from community colleges participating in articulation agreements with Michigan Tech Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) program can enter MS degree in Mechatronics upon completion of two years study earning Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in EET. In 2020, AC department introduced BS degree in Mechatronics. Both BS and MS degrees in Mechatronics are gaining significant momentum with the increase in enrollment in double digest. Along with standalone degrees in Mechatronics, Michigan Tech introduced 15-credit graduate certificate in Mechatronics. The most recent development was the proposition of three stackable graduate certificates leading to MS degree in Mechatronics.
