Central to Creating Effective Solutions.

Bachelor of Science in Robotics & Mechatronics Engineering Technology (RMET)

At Central, we prepare the next generation of problem-solvers who create smarter, faster, and more efficient engineering solutions. Our ABET-accredited RMET program blends rigorous theory with hands-on experience, so students graduate career-ready—without the need for additional training.

Why Choose RMET at Central?

  • Learn by Doing: Work directly with advanced industrial robotic arms, autonomous mobile and aerial robots, machine vision systems, instrumentation and sensors, and state-of-the-art automation technologies.
  • Real-World Impact: Students design everything from planetary exploration rovers to assistive robots for the elderly, applying their skills to meaningful challenges.
  • Career Advantage: There is a national shortage of highly skilled robotics and mechatronics professionals. Central’s RMET program answers this call—most juniors and seniors already hold full-time industry jobs while completing their degree.
  • Internships that Lead to Jobs: Every student completes a minimum 400-hour paid internship with leading local employers—many turning into permanent positions.
  • Capstone Experience: In the two-semester senior project, students integrate all aspects of their training to deliver real solutions for real companies.
  • Support for Success: Small class sizes, hybrid learning options, financial aid, scholarships, and even free on-campus childcare help students achieve their goals.

Program Highlights

  • Accredited by ETAC of ABET
  • Flexible: Full- or part-time, on-campus or hybrid
  • Industry-connected faculty with decades of experience
  • Hands-on labs, projects, and competitions
  • Strong career pathways in manufacturing, aerospace, automation, robotics, and beyond
