Automation & Engineering Technology
1 & 2
COURSE OVERVIEW: 1ST YEAR
(DOE COURSE: INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION & ROBOTICS I-5610)
- 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
COURSE OVERVIEW: 2ND YEAR
(DOE COURSE: INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION & ROBOTICS II-5612)
- 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)
CAREER FOCUS
- 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
