Mechatronics Technology
About Mechatronics Technology
Mechatronics combines mechanical, electronic, computer, software, control, and systems design engineering in order to design and manufacture useful products. Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of engineering designed to provide graduates with a high-tech skill set and knowledge in electronic, mechanical systems, fluid power/pneumatic systems, electrical, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programming, and repair of PLC- and computer-controlled automated machines and robotic systems.
The mission of this program is to prepare students for technical careers as industrial maintenance technicians. Students will acquire knowledge in mechanics, electronics, fluid power, and mechanism of automation, control systems, mechatronics, and robotics. This program will also provide continuing education for those previously or currently employed in these occupations.
