2025-2026 Academic Catalog

Mechatronics and Industrial Technology, A.A.S.

The combination of mechanical, electrical, and electronic skillsets is in great demand for state-of-the-art industries today. This combination of disciplines is also known as mechatronics. Students in the program will obtain the scientific, mechanical, and electrical knowledge and skills to function as contributing members of engineering teams. This A.A.S. program is a career degree, preparing students for the workforce after graduation. However, students can opt to transfer to a four-year program rather than start a career, but should confer with advisors and transferring institutions for specific requirements.

The Industrial Technology, Certificate is a stack-able credential that is completely compatible with this program. The Electronics Technician, Certificate (ETC) is also a stack-able credential towards this program. The ETC does include one course (ELE-101), however, which is not required for the AMS program.

Program Outcomes:

  1. Identify typical tools and properly use a variety of devices including precision measurement.
  2. Perform data collection and evaluation for equipment used in the industrial environment.
  3. Maintain, troubleshoot, and document a variety of systems.
  4. Recognize standard safety practices, procedures, and personal protection equipment.
  • View the Mechatronics and Industrial Technology Fact Sheet for faculty contact information and additional program information.
