Advanced Manufacturing Technology - Mechatronics

Definition: The program outcomes for students pursuing the degree will prepare them to perform the following tasks: Understand and explain the principal operations of the mechatronics subsystems in a complex system. Understand how these subsystems work together. Recognize potential or impending malfunctions, and contact expert assistance in order to keep the production line functioning, and to prevent production loss. Perform routine, preventative maintenance; localize and identify causes and sources of malfunctions where possible. Read and understand the technical documents, reports and outlines specific to systems and subsystems; be able to consult with experts; and be able to document malfunctions. Work effectively as a team member and coordinate the activities with upstream and downstream operations. Understand and implement safety regulations required for operation of the system. The courses for this program may be divided into four categories: related instruction requirements (15 credits), common technical requirements (31 credits), technical core concentration classes (28 to 40 credits), technical electives (credit varies) and the final capstone class (5 credits). Students seeking an ATA degree will take the number of credits shown in each area plus a number of technical elective classes until the total credit accumulations meets or exceeds the degree requirement. Note that a minimum of 28-40 credits need to come from any one technical concentration to qualify for that particular degree. Edit
