Mechatronics & Industrial Engineering, AAS

Program Description

The program allows students to earn an AAS in Mechatronics and Industrial Engineering in two years. The program also provides the pathway for students in this AAS program to BS in Mechanical Engineering or BS in Industrial and System Engineering.

Admission Requirements

Follows the admission requirements of Wright State University - Lake Campus.

Additional information of pathway to BS degree for AAS in Mechatronics and Industrial Engineering

Students complete the 2-year AAS program at the Lake Campus that satisfies 60 hours of credit towards the Lake Campus BSME or the Dayton Campus BSISE program (60 semester hours).
Students must apply for admittance to the Lake campus BSME program during the second year and must have completed the AAS degree before enrolling in BSME courses. Students who fail to complete the AAS degree or fail to meet the GPA requirements may still pursue the BSME degree with approval by the Lake Campus Science, Math and Engineering Unit and may require more than 2 years to complete the remaining portion of the 4-year program.
Students must apply for admittance to the Dayton campus BSISE program during the second year and must have completed the AAS degree before enrolling in BSISE courses. Students who fail to complete the AAS degree or fail to meet the GPA requirements may still pursue the BSISE degree with approval by the Department of Biomedical, Industrial, and Human Factors Engineering and may require more than 2 years to complete the remaining portion of the 4-year program.

Program Learning Outcomes

Students will demonstrate effective written, oral, and digital communication skills
