ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN APPLIED SCIENCE
MECHATRONICS TECHNOLOGY
71 SEMESTER HOURS
Combining electronic, mechanical, robotics and information system technologies, Mechatronics Technology provides the graduate with the skill set needed for today’s automated manufacturing facilities. These skills will align with current needs of manufacturers, as well as align with one or more industrial standards/certifications. Instruction covers hydraulics and pneumatics, robotics and automated controls, programmable controllers, process control and mechanical applications. The student will receive practical hands-on experience and computer simulation on automated assembly line processes.
Mechatronics Technology students train on state-of-the art equipment, including control systems, electronic systems, computers and mechanical systems that integrate product design and automated manufacturing processes. The program includes internships and outreach activities designed to provide real-world experiences for students.
It also features a high school dual-credit Mechatronics pathway, an associate degree and certificates, and Industrial Engineering Technology transfer options to South Carolina State University.
