Mechatronics Major
Career & Technical Programs
Associate of Applied Science Degree

The A.A.S. in Mechatronics Technology with Robotics Concentration is a two-year program that builds on the basic certification courses, with an emphasis on robotics. In addition to advanced mechatronics skills, the student is trained in robot programming for material handling, robotic design and maintenance, end effector design, and robotic welding. The program also includes a capstone project course.

At the completion of the program, the student has first-hand skills in robotic operation, integration, and maintenance. Students are qualified to earn three industry credentials through Yaskawa, a leading manufacturer of industrial robots.
