OVERVIEW

Adam Schroeder, Program Director

The Mechatronics Certificate Program is designed for mechanical engineers already in the workforce to introduce mechatronics and the relevant sub-topics including programming, electrical hardware, dynamics and controls. The certificate requires completion of five mechatronics-related courses (15 cr hr), taken one course per semester, starting in the fall. The courses have thus far been taught in classrooms at The University of Toledo and students have also taken these courses remotely. This certificate will build the requisite skills that engineers need to conceptualize, design, build and test mechatronic devices, which have largely replaced traditional mechanical-only devices. 

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Applicants for the program are evaluated based on the admission requirements of the M.S. of Mechanical Engineering program.
