Bachelor of Arts in Mechatronics Engineering

Design the machines that move the world.

Companies around the world are seeking mechatronics experts to design and power today’s “smart” technologies, from robots and prosthetics to electric vehicles, automated manufacturing systems, drones, and even space exploration equipment. If it’s intelligent and automated, mechatronics is likely behind it.

At Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, the Mechatronics Engineering program prepares students with an interdisciplinary foundation in mechanical, electrical, computer, and control engineering — skills essential for careers in robotics, aerospace, automotive systems, AI, and advanced manufacturing.

Students don’t just learn theory, they apply it. Through hands-on labs, real-world projects, and applied problem-solving, students gain practical experience that mirrors real engineering challenges and builds the skills employers seek.

What sets Saint Mary’s apart is its small class sizes and supportive learning community. Faculty work closely with students, offering personalized mentorship that helps them succeed in a rigorous program and graduate with confidence, adaptability, and real-world experience.

Internships and industry engagement are central to the program. With strong partnerships among local and regional manufacturing and engineering companies in the Winona area, students benefit from internship opportunities, company tours, and industry visits that provide firsthand exposure to professional engineering environments and prepare them for in-demand careers or graduate study.

At Saint Mary’s, we’re not just training engineers, we’re shaping the next generation of innovators in an era of robotics, AI, and automation. Apply today to be a part of something big and bold.
