Mechatronics and Robotics
What is Mechatronics and Robotics?
Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of science that integrates the principals of mechanical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, telecommunications engineering, systems engineering and control engineering into a unified discipline while keeping the core mechanical and electrical engineering education. Robotics is a subset of mechatronics with elevated classes of mechatronics
Why mechatronics and robotics at OSU?
The Bachelor's of Science in Mechatronics and Robotics provides students with an interdisciplinary applied engineering education through industry oriented coursework and hands-on projects. Students will learn fundamental and applied concepts of real-world mechatronic and robotic systems, including robot design, interface theory, sensing and actuation systems, hardware and software integration, modeling and control
