The Mechatronics Engineering Technology Associate in Applied Science degree is for those students looking to work within industrial maintenance, the field of automation and with robotics and PLCs (Programmable Logic Controls). Students will study mechanical skills necessary for repairing, installing and modifying industrial mechatronic systems and practice these skills in the hands on labs for PLCs, robotics, mechanisms and automation. Mechatronic skills are desired by manufacturers for roles in automating and maintaining production systems. Companies are looking for employees with these skills in the automated warehouse, automotive assembly and various automated manufacturing industries. Industrial Maintenance technicians are needed in every manufacturing production facility to maintain, repair and install the equipment utilized in the production processes manufacturing companies utilize. In addition to careers in industry, students are able to continue their studies in Bachelor's degree programs if desired.
The Mechatronics Automation Technician certificate provides students with the opportunity to train in a hands-on manufacturing lab environment. Throughout the duration of their training, students will develop an advanced level of skillsets in electrical, electronic, and mechanical principles as applied to the design and operation of modern, high-speed manufacturing and assemble equipment. Completing this certificate will provide the student requisite skills necessary to troubleshoot any electronic or mechanical problems associated with in the manufacturing environment, health industry, distribution systems, machining industry, wholesale, retail, warehouse, and engineering. These skills will lead directly into a career in the field of automation, CNC/Machine maintenance & repair, and/or robotics in manufacturing companies throughout the state and nation. This program was developed in response to Connecticut manufacturers’ needs for a highly skilled workforce to match the needs of the regional industry sector partnerships around the state of Connecticut that graduates of the program are placed with. The student who completes the Mechatronics Automation Technician certificate program has a choice to pursue employment and/or to matriculate in an associate degree program. Many students work in the field while coming through this program through an apprenticeship program or fulltime employment. This allows students to apply what they have learned directly to the needs of their employer.
The Certificate of Completion in robotics operator prepares the student with basic foundation skills toward earning a degree in automation technology. Students are also able to earn a FANUC Robotics CERT Handling Tool Operations and Programming level 1 certification. This credits earned in this program can be applied toward an Associate of Applied Science in Automation Engineering Technologies with a major in Systems Specialist or Maintenance/Repair.
The Electrical Technology certificate is a streamlined program that meets the state of New Hampshire educational requirements for licensure. It will prepare you to work in the field and is also a building block for the Electrical Technology degree.
The 12 Week Basic Maintenance Technician program prepares students for entry level employment in various capacities in a manufacturing environment. Students will gain hands-on experience with multimeters, slide calipers, micrometers, motor controls, mechanical drives and pumps. The program includes a wide variety of training that will enable graduates to repair, troubleshoot, install, dismantle, adjust or maintain industrial production and processing machinery. Classes Meet:Monday-Thursday, Wallace Campus 5:00 pm-8:00 pm
The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Technology curriculum provides the basic knowledge to develop skills necessary to work with residential and light commercial systems. Topics include mechanical refrigeration, heating and cooling theory, electricity, controls, and safety. The diploma program covers air conditioning, furnaces, heat pumps, tools, and instruments. In addition, the AAS degree covers residential building codes, residential system sizing, and advanced comfort systems. Diploma graduates should be able to assist in the start-up, preventive maintenance, service, repair, and/or installation of residential and light commercial systems. AAS degree graduates should be able to demonstrate an understanding of system selection and balance and advanced systems.
Build a future in industrial systems technology. If you like high-tech and hands-on, this is the program for you.
