Mission Statement
Programs
The Mission of the Engineering Technology Department is to prepare
graduates to work in high demand, very technical, vastly diverse,
automated industries that provide products and services to keep
our state and national economy running. The Pre-Engineering
graduates are prepared to go into upper level engineering fields at local
universities in the state. The Mechatronics graduates are focused on
designing the newest machines and automated systems needed by
industry. The Electrical Automation and Robotics Technology graduates
keep industry running by fixing, adapting, programming, and maintaining
the automated machines and systems used in industry. The hands on/
class room/lab learning approach used in the Engineering Technology
Department is the best skill learning approach in higher education.
Two options are available: Associate in Applied Science Degree (AAS),
and Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mechatronics Engineering Technology

Programs
Students can choose from two degree plans. The Associate in
Pre-Engineering degree is comprised of those math, science, and
engineering courses normally taken by first and second year students
in a four-year program, along with a small number of general education
courses. If a student adds appropriate general education courses, an
Associate in Science Degree with a pre-engineering pre-major may
be obtained. This option normally takes longer, unless the student
has advanced placement or concurrent enrollment from high school;
however, it has the added benefit of possible waiving of general
education requirements at the student’s follow-on school.

Requirements
The pre-engineering program at UVU has been created for students
who plan to complete the first two to three years of their engineering
education at UVU and then transfer to a baccalaureate university
to complete their engineering degree. With adequate planning, preengineering coursework completed at UVU will transfer to all of the Utah
universities with baccalaureate engineering degrees. All students who
declare pre-engineering as their major are automatically accepted into
pre-engineering status. After completion of the pre-engineering program
at UVU, the student applies for professional status at an institution of the
student’s choice.

Graduates from the Mechatronics Program will find gainful
and rewarding employment in the Utah manufacturing sector.
Manufacturing is an expanding sector of the Utah economy and
graduates from the Mechatronics Program find employment in
the automotive, medical, food, and sporting goods industries
as Automation Technologists. With the blend of electronics and
mechanics the graduates integrate into careers maintaining,
upgrading, and designing new technically demanding automation
systems that are the foundation of manufacturing production.
Starting and long term salary potential is excellent for Mechatronics
Technologists and the opportunity to work in a high demand
occupation with a great salary potential makes the Mechatronics an
excellent long term career choice. Graduates also have the option to
continue their education in the Technology Management Program that
will provide the opportunity to transition their careers into a supervision
or management path after several years of technical employment.

Requirements
or
The pre-engineering program at UVU has been created for students
who plan to complete the first two to three years of their engineering
education at UVU and then transfer to a baccalaureate university
to complete their engineering degree. With adequate planning, preengineering coursework completed at UVU will transfer to all of the Utah
universities with baccalaureate engineering degrees. All students who
declare pre-engineering as their major are automatically accepted into
pre-engineering status. After completion of the pre-engineering program
at UVU, the student applies for professional status at an institution of the
student’s choice.
