“Mechatronics is a fully student-run organization at San Diego State University.

​As a multidisciplinary team of engineering and business students, we provide a challenging team-based environment with real-world applications, like through the designing, fabricating, programming, and wiring of autonomous underwater vehicle systems. Our team consists of over 20 undergraduate students and is divided into three sub-teams: Mechanical, Software, and Electrical.”
