Mechanical and Instrumentation Automation (AAT)(Plan Code: ETEMIAPT)
Associate in Applied Technology
Program Details
Do you like working on puzzles? Do you enjoy learning how parts of a machine are put together by exploring the purpose of each part? If so, we invite you to consider enrolling in our Associate in Applied Science in Mechantronics program. Mechatronics Technology is a growing technical field that brings together mechanical, electrical, computer or robot engineering to connect different parts of one system to one another to build a variety of tools and systems. Mechatronics Technology is used to build computer-driven machinery, medical imaging systems, and robotics used in surgical procedures. We focus on current concepts and technology to provide you with practical, hands-on experience with the latest industry standard equipment so you will be job-ready upon completing the program. This program admits a limited number of students, so contact the Mechatronics Department today to learn how to enroll. Are you still determining if this career path is right for you?
