    Mechatronics program the teaching style relied heavily on independent learning with limited instruct

    The college overall offers good resources, but my experience in the Mechatronics program did not match the quality of other departments. Instruction felt unstructured and often left students without the support needed to complete assignments. I hope the program receives attention and improvement.

    Crist does not recommend the school.
