Mechatronics is a multi-disciplinary blend of mechanical, electrical, and computer control systems to prepare students for employment in high-tech manufacturing facilities, hospitals, hotels/resorts, public utilities, school/college facilities and retail chains. Graduates of this program are responsible for installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of machinery and equipment in an industrial setting. Good pay, benefits and high placement rates are characteristic of this field. This program provides ongoing skills enhancement to people already employed in the field, and it provides new students with the entry-level skills they need to gain employment. The AAS in Mechatronics builds upon the certificate courses to include a collaborative capstone project, coursework in related programs based upon the students career goals, and general education courses to better prepare the graduate for career advancement. 

Note: Students will not be eligible to graduate with both an Associate of Applied Science in Automation and Robotics (AAS.ARO) and an Associate of Applied Science in Mechatronics (AAS.MEC).
