SDSU Mechatronics

The Mechatronics Club is a student organization at San Diego State University (SDSU). Our goal is to develop an environment for students at SDSU to gain valuable hands-on experience by providing team based robotics project opportunities. The SDSU Mechatronics Club is broken down into three divisions: Apprentice Program (formerly, Mechatronics101), RoboSub, and RoboAir. All three divisions provide students with different backgrounds the opportunity to gain hands-on experience: Apprentice Program is a robotics development program that is intended for beginning to intermediate students. RoboSub is a robotics competition team that designs and builds an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for participating in the ONR and AUVSI Foundation's International RoboSub Competition. The RoboSub project is intended for intermediate to advanced students. RoboAir is a robotics competition team that designs and builds an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for participating in the AUVSI Seafarer Chapter's International Student Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS) Competition. The RoboAir project is intended for intermediate to advanced students. The divisions collaborate to ensure success of all efforts of the SDSU Mechatronics Club. In case you are wondering, the word mechatronics is a combination of the words MECHAnical and elecTRONICS. The field of mechatronics is a multi-disciplinary field of engineering involving all areas within computer, electrical, mechanical, and software engineering.
