Program Code: AASEM
ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED ARTS AND SCIENCE DEGREE
This program of study prepares students to work in the growing field of Mechatronics. It combines technical skills from the computer, electrical/electronic and mechanical disciplines to develop well-rounded, multi-skilled technicians who can design, install, program, integrate, service and troubleshoot Mechatronic components and systems.
Mechatronics, also known as mechatronic engineering, is a multidisciplinary branch of engineering that focuses on the engineering of both electrical and mechanical systems, and includes a combination of robotics, electronics, computer telecommunications, systems control, and product engineering. Technicians have a 2-year degree; engineers have a 4-year or 6-year degree. Mechatronics technicians are also known as industrial automation technicians, robotic technicians, control technicians, and mechanical technicians.
PROGRAM OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES:
When students complete this program, they will be able to:
- interface and program a programmable logic controller
- interface and program robots
- analyze and build fluid power and control logic circuits.
