As a CSUCI mechatronics student, you’ll be at the forefront of a rapidly growing field of engineering that combines computer hardware, electronics and mechanical engineering. You’ll work with faculty who do research in mobile robotics, embedded systems and unmanned aerial vehicles. And you’ll learn how engineering is influenced and impacted by business, politics and other social forces. CSUCI mechatronics students are also in good company — we’re one of only three CSUs that offer degrees in mechatronics.
We offer:
Majors
You’ll also benefit from:
- A small cohort of 24 students
- CSUCI’s strategic location within the emerging “101 Tech Corridor,” which includes leaders in biopharmaceutical, manufacturing and engineering
- Hands-on learning opportunities — both in class and through internships
- Hands-on research experience with state-of-the-art resources
