Mechatronics Certificate

In our two semester, fulltime, 36-credit Mechatronics certificate program, students will combine mechanical, electrical, computer, and software skills to prepare for positions operating and maintaining the electro-mechanical, computer-controlled systems commonly found in automated manufacturing environments. The Mechatronics program is designed so participants may rotate between practice (workplace) and theory (classroom) throughout the program.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of all program requirements, graduates will be able to:

1. Apply basic manufacturing shop math principles and formulas to shop problems.
2. Implement preventive and predictive maintenance processes and operations.
3. Use common hand tools and electronic test equipment for basic troubleshooting and maintenance of mechanical equipment.
4. Apply safety techniques to ensure a safe working environment while following industrial safety standards.
5. Interpret and construct technical documents for mechanical and electrical processes.
6. Create detailed 3D drawings in CAD for blueprints and schematics.
7. Explain the process of automation and the equipment involved in its operation.

Graduation Requirements

Students must complete all the graduation requirements as stated in the catalog. Students must maintain a GPA of 2.3 in the coursework.
