Education in mechatronics involves study and research in a wide variety of laboratories. Specialized laboratories for robotics, microprocessor systems, control systems, and sustainable energy are often utilized. CAD/CAM systems and multimedia computer equipment are also used in mechatronics education.

Certificate programs, which can be earned in about a year, consist of academic classes that are offered at different skill and ability levels. Undergraduate as well as graduate students, depending on their field of study, may obtain certificates.
