PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Review measurement, blueprint reading and mathematics placement.
Your complete timeline
96–98 credits. Prior credits, prerequisite placement and course availability can change your personal completion date.
Plan around the schedule
Campus-based; confirm the current timetable. Ask for the actual days, start times and required travel from Gresham. Online coursework does not necessarily make laboratories or placements remote.
Application and selection
Use the official Mechatronics page to review the current entry checklist. Ask whether a separate department application, selection process or cohort start applies before committing to enrollment.

Questions to take to an advisor
Which preparation, timetable and complete budget apply to my Mechatronics plan?
- Which required courses or placements are offered only once per year?
- Can you give me a written estimate covering every required term and practical expense?
- Which employment, transfer or licensing requirements remain after this award?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
Match the curriculum to machining, production or maintenance roles. Employer equipment qualifications and safety training are separate.
