Description
The Industrial Robotics and Automation AAS degree trains students to become versatile automation and mechatronics technicians capable of installing, programming, integrating, and maintaining advanced manufacturing systems. Building on the first-year foundation of automation and robotic principles, the second year focuses on advanced PLC and motion control through integrated manufacturing processes. Students spend significant time in the lab wiring and commissioning motors and drives, tuning PID loops, integrating robots with conveyors and CNC equipment, configuring industrial networks, and applying diagnostics and predictive maintenance strategies. The program concludes with a capstone project where students collaborate with industry partners to design, implement, and present a real-world automation solution, preparing graduates for entry-level technician and support roles in robotics, automation, and smart manufacturing environments.
Successful completion of each semester, or the instructor's permission, is required to continue into successive semesters. Placement in specific English and Math courses is determined by the college assessment test. Prospective students who do not meet the initial eligibility requirements will need to take selected courses to receive necessary skill-building prior to entering the program.
