Mechatronics technicians coordinate mechanical, electrical, and computer-controlled robotics into unified manufacturing functions. Students train in state-of-the-art labs on electrical sensors, semiconductors, robotic programmers, hydraulics, pneumatics, and microcontrollers, including programming PLCs for an actual assembly line. The program offers both a certificate and an associate degree, with credits transferable toward a bachelor's degree. A Fluid Power Certificate option (18 credits) prepares students for the International Fluid Power Society certification exam.
