Mechatronics Program Description
This program was created as a result of the Maryland Department of Commerce Maryland Manufacturing in the Digital Age Workgroup and the Maryland Manufacturing advisory board. Additionally, this program is informed by the work of the National STEM Consortium (NSC), funded by the United States Department of Labor TAACCCT grant. The NSC worked closely with Maryland and national manufacturers to develop a program guide for institutions seeking to implement a mechatronics program.
