Robotics and Automation

The 12-credit Robotics and Automation microcredential provides training for individuals to become industrial automation mechatronics technicians. Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field that combines mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, computer science, and control engineering to design and create intelligent systems and products. Technicians specialize in maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing mechatronic automation systems to ensure that systems operate efficiently and reliably. They are essential in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, consumer goods, life sciences, and many others where complex automated systems are used.

This microcrecential is an 8-week academic program. ELT 130 and MET 107 will be taught in the first four weeks; the second four weeks will include ELT 134 and MET 150. Students will attend class four days per week, 8-hours per day.

The Robotics and Automation microcredential ladders into the Industrial Automation - Mechatronics Certificate (AI02) and Industrial Automation Technology A.A.S. (AI01).
