Automation & Engineering Technology

Automation & Engineering Technology
1 & 2

Opportunity to design and construct large scale projects that incorporate computer control, sensors, electrical circuits, and actuators used in industry (remotely operated hovercraft, automated drawbridge, robotic vehicles, etc.)
Hands on engineering experience with industry training equipment used in advanced manufacturing. Training then applied to design projects
Troubleshoot automated systems, diagnose problems, and design solutions using the engineering process
College course work covers schematics, mechatronic systems, quality control, and electrical theory
Potential to utilize classroom experience to intern with area businesses and participate in industry sponsored design projects

Design Projects that integrate computers and mechanical systems to automate tasks
Industrial PLC and arduino programming projects
Program industrial robot to complete material handling tasks and perform quality checks
Use Lean Manufacturing principles in design to improve product quality
Potential to utilize classroom experience to intern with area businesses and participate in industry sponsored design projects
Prerequisite: Automation & Robotics I
(DOE COURSE: INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION & ROBOTICS I-5610)

Students will be prepared to continue their education at a 2 or 4 year postsecondary institution in an engineering or engineering technology field, or move into a career/education track position in the advanced manufacturing field

Earn up to 42 college credits
Manufacturing Skills Standards certification available
1st year costs = $30
2nd year costs = $30
