PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Certificate in Robotics and Mechatronics Technology program is designed to provide students the skills set to enter the job market or pursue further education in the areas of automation, computer science, electronics, and control systems. Students gain hands-on experience with industrial systems and machinery such as programmable logic controls (PLCs) and motors. Through programming courses, students gain a fundamental understanding of the structure and nature of code and software which is a crucial part of modern industry and business. Finally, students complete robotics classes that will teach them to set up and integrate robotic systems for both small and large scare application. Through the Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA), students can earn industry certificates to validate their learning and provide further opportunities. This credential fulfills the College’s mission of developing skills in communication and problem solving while promoting a strong work ethic. The semester-by-semester plans described below are general guidance. Students should work closely with their academic advisors to develop a plan that best meets their own individual needs and goals.
