The Detroit Mercy Bachelor of Engineering with a Robotics and Mechatronic Systems Engineering (RMSE) concentration program is only available to specific international cohort program students (e.g. Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) as it is currently structured). Similar programs with other international entities are possible.

Detroit Mercy Entry Requirements:

Detroit Mercy and specific international schools have jointly developed contractual entry requirements based on student grades and prerequisites for the Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science (ECECS) Department’s Bachelor of Engineering, major in Engineering, with a concentration in Robotics and Mechatronic Systems Engineering cohort-based program. Contractual details are available from the College’s director of International Programs or the Dean’s Office.  Students are either directly or conditionally admitted based on their records.

Note that contract requirements may change depending on Detroit Mercy regulations and USA government visa regulations.  Transcripts are evaluated and admission decisions are rendered by the ECECS Department chairperson and the RMSEw/EE program director.  

Course List:

The courses that will be taken at Detroit Mercy for the joint BUCT/Detroit Mercy RMSE program are listed below.  Engineering foundation courses are typically taken prior to transferring to Detroit Mercy.

Delivery Format:

All courses are existing courses that are face-to-face lecture and/or laboratory format. This format will continue for the foreseeable future.

Learning Outcomes and Assessment:

The required courses for the BUCT BEN_RMSE program consist of classes taken at BUCT as well as courses taken at Detroit Mercy.  They comprise courses selected from the Detroit Mercy RMSEw/EE program concentration.  As such, the courses are regularly assessed with outcome worksheets generated by the faculty and reviewed by faculty committee and the ECECS Department Industrial Advisory Board (IAB).

This concentration is intended for international students in exchange programs with Detroit Mercy. Environmental engineers use the principles of biology and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. They are involved in water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, and public health issues. Environmental engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies in which they evaluate the significance of the hazard, advise on its treatment and containment, and develop regulations to prevent mishaps. They design municipal water supply and industrial wastewater treatment systems, conduct research on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects, analyze scientific data, and perform quality-control checks. Environmental engineers are concerned with local and worldwide environmental issues. Some may study and attempt to minimize the effects of acid rain, global warming, automobile emissions, and ozone depletion. They also may be involved in the protection of wildlife. Many environmental engineers work as consultants, helping their clients to comply with regulations, prevent environmental damage, and clean up hazardous sites.

The Environmental Engineering concentration has the following objectives:

1. Graduates of our program should work as practicing engineers/professionals.
2. Graduates of our program should create practical engineering designs, solutions or research that is sensitive to economics, social context, community needs, and address environmental, public safety and sustainability concerns.
3. Graduates of our program should actively participate and seek leadership positions in professional societies, other worthy organizations and their workplaces.
4. The program at Detroit Mercy focuses on two predominant areas of Environmental Engineering: water and land.  All students take courses in both the water and land areas.
