Robotics and Mechatronics BA

Mechatronics is an emerging interdisciplinary engineering field that includes mechanics, electronics, computing, and systems.

In fact, the word mechatronics is a combination of mechanical and electronics. 

Robotics is a subset of mechatronics focusing on applied systems to design, build, and operate smart machines. 

The interdisciplinary nature of the program gives majors a solid foundation in engineering, computer science, physics, and mathematics.  

The liberal arts emphasis of Randolph College will teach majors to think critically, reason logically, and communicate effectively, preparing them for leadership roles in the field.

Hands-on experience with actual robots begins on day one. While large universities boast massive labs, most of their undergraduates will never set foot in them. Randolph professors work closely with students to create hands-on and research experiences that fits their vision.

Every major industry including telecommunications, agriculture, transportation, biotechnology, automobile, national security, and renewable energy relies heavily on mechatronics.

Randolph graduates will enter the field prepared not only to excel in their first job, but to advance toward management and future-proof their skills through continual learning.
