| | You may think of engineers as the designers of cars, computers, airplanes, and bridges, but do you associate them with bubble gum, baseball bats, movie special effects, roller coasters, and synthetic human tissue replacements. Engineers are involved in designing nearly everything you see, touch, and hear. Engineering innovations fuel economic growth, improve health care, and safeguard the environment and engineers have a part in all these and more. More information is available on the American Society for Engineering Education website.

| | Many modern systems and products incorporate a computer, i.e., a microprocessor, as a system component. Mechatonic Engineering is the discipline concerned with the design of those systems. Since "mechatronic systems" include mechanical parts, sensors, actuators, and an on board computer to control them, mechatronic engineering incorporates elements of mechanical engineering, computer engineering, and electrical engineering.

| | The State of California has an engineering licensing program in which many Mechanical Engineering majors and Mechatronic Engineering majors participate. One can become a Professional Engineer (PE) by passing two exams administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying. The Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (the first of the two) assesses knowledge of the material studied in an engineering bachelor's degree program and is typically taken during a student's final year. The second exam is taken after the candidate obtains professional experience. Pass-rates of CSU, Chico Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering students on the Fundamentals of Engineering exam are indicated below.
