BS: Mechatronics Engineering 2023-2024
As a CSUCI mechatronics engineering 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.
