Mechatronics

Mechatronics 1 & 2

With automation and robotics rapidly expanding in fields such as manufacturing and logistics, highly skilled technicians who install and troubleshoot these automated systems are in great demand. Students will learn about the components used in automated systems such as pneumatics, hydraulics, sensors, electrical wiring through a series of modules, then build systems that combine these in projects to automate a process. Students will also work side-by-side with engineering students on large scale projects.
