Terms of use

By accessing MechatronicsPrograms.com (mechatronicsprograms.com), you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Purpose of the site

MechatronicsPrograms.com provides research-driven information about mechatronics, robotics, and electromechanical engineering programs in the United States. The site catalogs verified programs, applies a transparent 7-factor scoring methodology, and publishes ranking and reference content for prospective students, career-changers, and the general public.

Information on the site is provided for general informational purposes. It is not personalized educational, career, financial, legal, or licensure advice. See "information accuracy disclaimer" below for the full disclaimer.

Acceptable use

By using the site, you agree not to:

• Use automated scrapers, bots, or other tools to systematically extract content beyond what's permitted by our published robots.txt and standard web-crawler etiquette
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site's infrastructure, servers, or back-end systems
• Use the site for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair it
• Republish substantial portions of our content (program scores, editorial rankings, state-page editorial commentary) without permission and attribution
• Misrepresent yourself as affiliated with MechatronicsPrograms.com or with any school we rank

You may link to MechatronicsPrograms.com from your own site, reference our published methodology and aggregate statistics with attribution, and share individual page URLs through standard social-sharing channels. Educational fair use of small excerpts (e.g., quoting one ranking criterion in an academic paper with attribution) is permitted.

Affiliate disclosure

This site may receive compensation when readers request information from or enroll in programs featured here. Sponsored placements are labeled. Accreditation status, wage data, and program structure data are sourced directly from official records and are reported the same way regardless of partnership status.

Outbound links to schools or referral networks are marked with the standard rel="sponsored" attribute where compensation applies. Our 7-factor ranking methodology is deterministic; affiliate status does not affect rank order or scoring. See the about page for our full editorial-independence policy.

Information accuracy disclaimer

We make reasonable efforts to verify program details (accreditation status, tuition figures, program duration, delivery format, named industry partners, employer information, wage data) against each program's published catalog page, ABET database listings, regional accreditor records, BLS OEWS data, and other authoritative public sources at the time of publication.

However, program details change continuously. Tuition figures published here may be out of date relative to a school's current academic year. Accreditation status may have changed since our last review. Program structure may have been updated or discontinued. Wage data is sourced from BLS OEWS state-level estimates and reflects historical averages that may not match individual employer offers.

Always verify program details directly with the school before making enrollment, financial, or career decisions. If you find an outdated detail on the site, email taylor@savogroup.com with the corrected source URL and we'll update it.

Editorial commentary (state pages, employer descriptions, methodology explanations, FAQ answers) reflects our research-based perspective and is not advice tailored to your individual situation. Whether a specific program is the right fit for you depends on factors specific to your career goals, financial situation, geography, and individual circumstances that we cannot evaluate from a website.

No professional licensing or legal advice

References to ABET accreditation, FE/PE engineering licensure pathways, state licensing boards, and similar regulatory topics are provided for general information only. Engineering licensure rules vary by state and change over time. MechatronicsPrograms.com does not provide licensing advice. Consult your state's Professional Engineers Licensing Board and the specific accreditation bodies (ABET, regional accreditors) for authoritative current guidance on licensure eligibility.

Third-party links

The site contains links to schools, employers, government agencies, accreditation bodies, and other third-party websites. MechatronicsPrograms.com is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of those third-party sites. Linking does not constitute endorsement. Review each third-party site's own terms and privacy policies when visiting them.

Limitation of liability

MechatronicsPrograms.com and its operators are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site, including but not limited to financial loss, lost educational opportunity, lost employment opportunity, or any other damages even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

The site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components.

Intellectual property

The MechatronicsPrograms.com name, logo, scoring methodology, editorial commentary, ranking lists, state-page write-ups, and other original content are the intellectual property of the site's operators. Program-level information (school names, program titles, tuition figures, accreditation status, BLS wage data) is sourced from public records and is not owned by us; we cite our sources on individual pages.

Reproduction of original content requires permission. Standard fair-use exceptions apply for educational and journalistic purposes with attribution.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where MechatronicsPrograms.com's operators are based. Any disputes will be resolved in that jurisdiction.
