Welcome Prospective Students

Mechatronics engineering is an exciting, interdisciplinary field that combines mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science to design and create intelligent systems and advanced machinery. The demand for mechatronics engineers is growing rapidly as industries increasingly adopt automation and intelligent systems to enhance efficiency and productivity.

Here are a few reasons to consider our program:

  • Small faculty-to-student ratio
  • New remodeled engineering laboratories
  • New engineering equipment
  • Research opportunities
  • Internship opportunities

CSUMB is nestled in an extraordinary location. Students have access to develop intelligent systems for thriving industries within the region:

  • Vibrant agricultural technology in the Salinas Valley
  • Marine robotics in Monterey Bay and Moss Landing
  • Soaring opportunities in the aviation
