Robotics & Automation
Program Description
This program prepares individuals to apply technical knowledge and high-tech skills to integrate, install, maintain, and repair industrial and automated systems. Students will learn entry-level skills to perform work on mechanical and electrical systems such as motors, conveyors, controls, programmable controllers (PLC’s), and other electro-mechanical devices related to manufacturing or production. An emphasis will be placed on learning the proper techniques and procedures to work safely.

All students must attend the summer Program Orientation, or must meet/contact their Robotics & Automation program advisor prior to taking their first course.
All part-time students must meet with a Robotics & Automation program advisor to develop a sequential Plan of Study prior to taking their first course. (failure to do so may result in the student taking longer to complete the program)
Students must take their program core courses in sequence, and during the same semester as is reflected on the published Plan of Study.
