Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to participate in our upcoming workshops aimed to shape the future of Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering Education. These workshops are motivated by the tremendous, dynamic growth in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering. To address the need for highly educated, multi-disciplinary professionals, many universities and colleges have introduced courses, minors, and degree programs; however, these efforts lack cohesion. Now is the time to unify and standardize educational material to make Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering education more widely available and easier to adopt.

The objectives of the workshops are to bring together industry and academic professionals in Mechatronics and Robotics, share experiences, and initiate efforts towards defining the field. We aim to encourage and facilitate the wide adoption of Mechatronics and Robotics degree programs. Workshop participants will learn about recent successes in offering these degrees, help influence the future of the field, and contribute to the growing Mechatronics and Robotics education community. The workshops will benefit a wide range of participants including current educators teaching mechatronics, robotics, dynamics and control courses, future educators in mechatronics and robotics, and industry professionals desiring to shape the future workforce.

We look forward to seeing you in our upcoming webinars.
