MechatronicsProgram Setfor Approval

Approval from Cal U’s Council of Trustees isthe last step in the approval process for aBachelor of Science in Mechatronics

Engineering Technology.At its April meeting, the PASSHE Board of

Governors approved three new degree programs,including the four-year program at Cal U.

If approved by the Trustees, the mechatronicsdegree would be the first of its kind in the State Systemof Higher Education. New rules leave the finalapproval for new programs in the hands of the hostschool’s Trustees, said Kenn Marshall, media relationsmanager at PASSHE.

Mechatronics blends mechanical and electricalengineering technology with computer science. Amechatronics engineer works with mechanical devicesthat incorporate mechanical, electrical and softwarecomponents, such as robots, automated guided vehiclesor other “smart” tools.

The new degree would align with Cal U’scommitment to science, technology, engineering andmath, and to STEM education, which has garneredattention because of the vital role it plays in workforcedevelopment, economic development andcompetitiveness in international markets.

If approved, the program is expected to start in fall2013. It would complement the two-year associatedegree in robotics engineering technology already inplace at Cal U.

Both degrees have their roots in a Department ofDefense grant that helped to found NCRETE, theNational Center for Robotics Engineering andTechnology Education at Cal U. This center providesarticulated curricula, teacher professional developmentand outreach programs to regional schools.

“The mechatronics engineering technology degreewould position California University as a leader inmechatronics career development,” said Cal U ProvostGeraldine Jones. “It would help to meet STEMworkforce needs across a variety of industries bygraduating high-tech, multi-skilled engineeringtechnologists.”

Dr. John R. Kallis, chair of Cal U’s Department ofApplied Engineering and Technology (AET),developed the proposal for the 120-credit program. He

recognized the Mechatronics AdvisoryBoard, AET faculty and staff, and theoffices of the President, the Provost andthe Eberly College of Science andTechnology for supporting the program.

The National Council onCompetitiveness estimates that 100million new jobs will be created in the21st century at the intersection ofdisciplines. Mechatronics fits right in.

“Mechatronics is an evolutionarydesign development that requireshorizontal integration between variousengineering disciplines as well asvertical integration between design andmanufacturing,” Kallis explained.

With its multidisciplinary skill set,mechatronics has been identified bythe Pennsylvania Department of Laborand Industry as a high priorityoccupation, he said. The department’sCenter for Advanced Manufacturingprojects 300 to 600 job openings peryear through 2020, with most of thedemand resulting from an agingworkforce.

Associate Provost Dr. StanKomacek said the program has

established partnerships with twointernational firms: Siemens AG, amultinational powerhouse inelectronics and electrical engineering;and FESTO, a leading supplier ofpneumatic and electrical automationtechnology.

Cal U’s mechatronics program willstrive for accreditation from theTechnology Accreditation Commissionof ABET, an international body thathas accredited more than 3,100programs worldwide, including Cal U’selectrical and computer engineeringtechnology programs.

“Partnerships with existingprograms will be a strong point of thenew program, and will aid in buildingthe curricular foundation,” Kallis said.

Cal U expects to conduct nationalsearches for engineers to teach in themechatronics program, with particularattention to minority and womencandidates, Kallis stated.

The other two programs approvedthis month by the Board of Governorsare a Bachelor of Science in softwareengineering at Shippensburg Universityand a Bachelor of Applied Science intechnology leadership at Clarion.

holiday-themed parties.“Best Buddies is all about integration

and getting these people involved withsocial activities in the community,”Brown said. “If you are really areinvolved, it will change your outlook oneverything.”

Brown, who is studying earlychildhood and special education, expects

to graduate in December aftercompleting her student teaching. She hasbeen active with Best Buddies since herfreshman year and also works at theSPHS group home in Donora.

Her longtime buddy is Susie Cain,who now resides in Greensburg.

“She’s incredible and my best friend,”Brown said. “If you’re having a bad day

and call your buddy, you realize thatanything that’s wrong or troubling you,they’ve had it much worse.”

At Sunday’s awards ceremony,members will highlight somethingspecial about each of their buddies.Video clips and slide shows will recapthe year’s activities.

Perhaps the most important of theawards bestowed at the formal event isthe House Cup, given to the group homewith the best communication and mostvisits or calls from students.

“It’s a big deal,” Brown said. “Thefirst group house to win this award stillhas the trophy on the mantel in the livingroom. They truly covet these awards.”

Brown praised Dr. James Burton, anassistant professor in the Department ofSpecial Education, who has been theBest Buddies faculty adviser for the pastfour years.

“He started when I did, and he isamazing,” she said. “This will be my lastbanquet, which is sad for me, but thishas been a wonderful experience. It’s sorewarding to see our buddies dressed andup and socializing in the community.”
