Engineering: Concentration in Mechatronics

The Joint NCSU–UNC Asheville Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree with a concentration in Mechatronics degree gives students the benefits of a strong foundation in the liberal arts combined with rigorous studies in engineering disciplines and allows students to complete an engineering degree while living and working in the Asheville area. Approximately half the courses in the degree are taught by UNC Asheville and the remaining half are taught by NCSU faculty. The degree is designed to be accessible to students employed in local industries as well as to traditional students. Students graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering–Mechatronics Concentration degree from NCSU and UNC Asheville.

All Joint Program students will complete the UNCA Integrative Liberal Studies Program. Students must meet with an engineering advisor on first interest and at least once a semester thereafter to ensure completion of all requirements in a timely manner.
