Graduate Certificate in Mechatronics

The Mechatronics Certificate Program is designed for mechanical engineers already in the workforce to introduce mechatronics and the relevant sub-topics including programming, electrical hardware, dynamics and controls. The certificate requires completion of five mechatronics-related courses (15 cr hr), taken one course per semester, starting in the fall. The courses have thus far been taught in classrooms at The University of Toledo and students have also taken these courses remotely. This certificate will build the requisite skills that engineers need to conceptualize, design, build and test mechatronic devices, which have largely replaced traditional mechanical-only devices. Learning Outcomes PLO 1) Demonstrate technical proficiency in mechatronics topics. PLO 2) Solve problems using mathematics and engineering knowledge in mechatronics. PLO 3) Explain course projects in mechatronics clearly and concisely in written and oral formats.
