Program Full Description
This program is designed to prepare a student for employment as a technician in an industrial environment that uses automated assembly or processing equipment. The program provides students with knowledge and experiences in the areas of analog and digital electronics, fluid power, robotics, computer-aided drafting (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), so that they are prepared for the high-technology methods employed by industry. Graduates will assist engineers in the design, construction, testing, and repair of industrial automation equipment.
Advisor Notes
*MAT 160 or higher level course will also satisfy the mathematics requirement. +ENG 106 may be substituted for ENG 107.
