Mechatronics Engineering Technology A.A.S.

A40350

The curriculum is designed to prepare students through the study and application of principles from mathematics, natural sciences, and technology and applied processes based on these subjects.   
 
Course work includes mathematics, natural sciences, engineering sciences and technology.  
 
Graduates should qualify to obtain occupations such as technical service providers, materials and technologies testing services, process improvement technicians, engineering technicians, industrial and technology managers, or research technicians. 

A course of study that prepares the students to use basic engineering principles and technical skills in developing and testing automated, servomechanical, and other electromechanical systems. 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. 
 

Upon successful completion of this program, the student should be able to:

  • Demonstrate competence in troubleshooting simple hydraulic/pneumatic circuits.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of basic concepts of industrial safety.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of basic concepts of robotic systems.
  • Demonstrate competence in installing and calibrating instrumentation.
  • Demonstrate competence in analyzing, maintaining, and troubleshooting the components of mechanical systems.
