Why study Mechatronics and Robotics online through OSU?

The Master of Science in Engineering Technology (MSET) degree in Mechatronics and Robotics (MERO) online will provide students with an interdisciplinary applied engineering education through coursework, project, and thesis work. Students will learn fundamental and applied concepts of real world mechatronic and robotic systems including interface theory, sensing and actuation systems, hardware and software integration, modelling and control. Our faculty members have extensive industry experience. Students will have an option to specialize in one or more areas including control systems, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, advanced manufacturing, and soft-robotics. All courses will focus on applied engineering via hands-on learning.

Format

Online learning through the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology (CEAT) provides a flexible alternative to traditional on-campus courses as a convenient way to earn your degree whenever your career or other life commitments prevent you from taking classes on campus in a traditional setting.

 

Online students utilize Canvas, OSU's online learning portal to watch lectures, turn in assignments and communicate with classmates and professors.  

 

Courses taught online are of identical quality and instruction as those taught in traditional classrooms. CEAT Online Learning and the Division of Engineering Technology faculty are here to help you succeed!

Admissions

Mechatronics and Robotics

Applicants for admission would be expected to have a B.S. degree in engineering or engineering technology. Electrical, mechanical, and mechatronics majors are welcome to apply, but other majors may also be considered. They should have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher. These criteria are generally deemed necessary for the student to be successful within the curriculum. However, applicants not quite meeting the standards may be granted probationary admission and/or required to take leveling classes, based upon their overall academic and professional practice, history, accomplishments, and standardized test scores.

 

Required Materials

  • Official online OSU Graduate College Application
  • Official transcripts from all institutions where you have done college level coursework
  • Statement of purpose or biographical statement
  • Three professional or academic letters of recommendation
  • Current resume or vitae
  • International applicants must submit results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination or the IELTS (academic stream) examination. Not required for applicants with an OSU degree or degrees from Universities in the United States. The minimum acceptable score on the TOEFL exam is 79 (on the internet-based TOEFL) or 550 (paper based test) or an IELTS score of at least 6.5. The exam must have been taken within the last two years.
  • The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is highly recommended. OSU's GRE institution code is 6546

Rolling Application Deadlines

  • Domestic Application Deadlines

    To ensure your application receives full consideration, please submit your complete application at least 60 days prior the first day of each semester.
