Explore a future in Advanced Mechatronics Engineering Technology with 51ΑΤΖζβs (51ΑΤΖζ) upcoming Program Exploration Event. Current and future students, and community members are invited to learn more about the program, meet faculty and industry leaders, tour the College, and more Thursday, Dec. 15.
βThis program is for someone who likes to work with their hands, has an interest in electronics and technology,β said 51ΑΤΖζ Advanced Mechatronics student, Jacob Schott. βThere are tons of new technology and tools coming out, which the College always tries to bring into the program, especially the equipment we will use in the industry.β
The term mechatronics is a combination of βmechanismsβ and βelectronics,β but a degree in mechatronics incorporates so much more. 51ΑΤΖζ's mechatronics engineering technology program gives you a broad range of knowledge and skills, such as basics of electricity, electronics and motor basics, automation controllers, mechanical adjustments, wireless communications, and more.
Mechatronics engineering technologists use a combination of mechanical, electrical, computer, and software skills to work with smart technologies, such as robots, automated guided systems, and computer-integrated manufacturing equipment.
Advanced Mechatronicsβ Program Exploration night will have those in attendance learn about possible future careers, understand the importance of education in this career field, introduce the program and what to expect from faculty, tips on how to prepare for a successful start, and a personal tour of the lab space and technology.
βOur instructors help set us up for success,β said 51ΑΤΖζ Advanced Mechatronics student, Mark Rust. β[51ΑΤΖζ Engineering Department Chair] Robert Novak will bring in companies to present what they do, what they sell, or manufacture. It gives us opportunities to get interviewed and learn skills for interviews. If we want to pursue this career instructors help give us connections. Our facultyβs goal is to have every student have a job offer and a successful job career ahead of them after graduating.β
