Mechatronics (APMETR)
Associate in Applied Science Degree
Description
This program prepares students for entry-level positions as an automated equipment
technician who assembles, installs, programs, troubleshoots and maintains robotic
and automated equipment. Students have a choice to follow any of three different specialty
tracks which will prepare them for the various applications of automation. Each track
features a variety of application level classes where the student performs lab-oriented
practice for required skills. It is highly recommended that beginning students take
at least one technical class during their first semester. See an advisor in the Industrial
Technology department for assistance.
Students must select one of the concentrations to complete as a program requirement.
