APPLIED INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGIES/MECHATRONICS

From automation to construction to optics, the Rochester region is home to many businesses that require engineering professionals. Applied Integrated Technology is a unique, interdisciplinary program in high technology fields applying the principles of science, engineering, and mathematics to solve technical problems. Mechatronics stems from blending mechanical and electronics in a relatively new approach to product design and development, merging the principles of electrical, mechanical, computer and industrial engineering. Mechatronic systems are often referred to as “smart” devices because of the incorporation of sensors, actuators and computer control systems. Mechatronics has become synonymous with products that exhibit fast, precise performance. A mechatronics engineer unites the principles of mechanics, electronics, and computing to generate a simpler, more economical and reliable system.
