Discover the Field Where Engineering Specialties Merge

Industrial mechatronics is a versatile field that merges mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering through intelligent design. At the University of Michigan-Dearborn, we offer a rich, interdisciplinary curriculum for this graduate certificate that delves into both the traditional foundations and the emerging areas of this field.

You can take all courses for the 12-credit certificate in person, online, or a combination of both. We schedule them in the late afternoon and evening so they’re convenient for part-time students who work. You can apply credits earned for the certificate toward graduate degrees offered by UM-Dearborn’s Department of Mechanical Engineering.
