Mechatronics is a blend of mechanical, electrical, and computerized technologies that together form a complex system used by many manufacturing, packaging, and other modern operations. Students will develop skills to work as technicians in an integrated, multidisciplinary industrial environment and will acquire the knowledge and hands-on training in electronics, mechanics, and computers to work in a variety of industrial and manufacturing-related businesses. Skills emphasized in the program include troubleshooting techniques, system preventative maintenance, and safety with respect to electrical components, mechanical components, and electric motors, pneumatic and hydraulic controls, and PLCs used in mechatronics systems. Students successfully completing this program can manage, investigate, repair, and troubleshoot mechatronic systems, with the aim of operational efficiency, cost, and process control. The AAS in Mechatronics Technology prepares students for careers in manufacturing and engineering. The student is prepared to work in many various fields such as automotive, food processing, power production, aviation manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, robotics, and many more.
