Program Description

Industrial Robotics and Automation is a multifaceted field that utilizes many areas of mechanics including electronics automation computers hydraulics programmable logic controllers electrical systems and mechanical systems. The Industrial Robotics and Automation program is designed to prepare students for employment as entry-level technicians and emphasizes extensive practical experience in both theory and laboratory settings using mock-up equipment and assemblies similar to those found in the industry. Instruction includes theory troubleshooting and hands-on application in Industrial Robotics and Automation concepts and principles programmable logic controllers pneumatics AC and DC electrical systems and motor controls.

Successful completion of both the Industrial Robotics and Automation Program and Industrial Mechanic/Millwright Program and associated general education coursework will lead to an Advanced Technical Certificate or A.A.S. Degree in Industrial Robotics and Automation.

Successful completion of each semester or permission of the instructor 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.
