Mechatronics Engineering Technology (A40350)
Associate in Applied Science
A course of study that prepares the students to use basic engineering principles and technical skills in developing and testing automated, servo-mechanical, and other electromechanical system. Includes instruction in prototype testing, manufacturing and operational testing, systems analysis and maintenance procedures.
Graduates should be qualified for employment in industrial maintenance and manufacturing including assembly, testing, startup, troubleshooting, repair, process improvement, and control systems, and should qualify to sit for Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) mechatronics or similar industry examinations.
Students enrolling in this program must purchase student accident insurance.
