This program follows a structured schedule, Monday – Friday from 8 AM to 3 PM.
The Mechatronics program allows the student to earn two one-year certificates (Introductory and Advanced) as well as the opportunity to earn an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Mechatronics.
The Mechatronics field is a growing career field and the need for the number of Mechatronics craft workers is projected to increase by almost 20% over the next ten years. The Certificates and the AAS degree are valuable assets for an individual when applying for a Mechatronics position with most large to medium companies. The Certificates and AAS degree prove that you have the necessary training, experience, and education for entry-level positions. This gives you an advantage when applying for an open position.
