Students enrolled in the mechatronics engineering major at California State University, Monterey Bay, are required to complete one internship experience prior to graduation, which requires enrollment in ENGR 394: Internship in Engineering.
Before enrolling into ENGR 394: Internship in Engineering, please ensure you satisfy the following:
1. Received an internship offer letter

Cal State S4 System
The Cal State S4 Database is accessible on the CSUMB Dashboard.
After registering into ENGR 394, students must log their internship placement in the database. The database tracks internship progress, and establishes a learning agreement between the student, internship site, the Mechatronics Engineering Department, and California State University, Monterey Bay.
