Admissions Requirements

Students can be accepted into the Electromechanical Technology-Associate in Science-Career Option (Robotics and Automation Technology); however, students should note that many of the program specific courses have ENG and/or MAT prerequisites.

 

Next Step

Graduates of this program are qualified for entry-level positions as electronic or manufacturing equipment technicians. Students may also continue their education at the bachelor’s level.


Electromechanical technicians install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair a wide range of computer-driven manufacturing equipment, automated control equipment, and/or robotic systems. They must understand basic electronics and computers order to work with a variety of equipment, systems, and manufacturing processes. The employment outlook for electronic equipment technicians and robotics technicians suggests strong employment opportunities in this field.


Students completing the Career Option have elective options when choosing Math and Science courses, and must complete a cooperative work experience.
