Mechatronics Integrated Technologies
Mechatronics Integrated Technologies Course Listing
Mechatronics Integrated Technologies is an interdisciplinary field involving mechanical, instrumentation, electronics, robotics /automation, computer components, and control systems. The program prepares students who like to work with their hands as well as their minds. Mechatronics is a dynamic field that changes daily with the rapid improvements in technology and computer systems. Systems are networked to meet the demands of automated manufacturing processes, and technicians are trained to meet the demands of automated manufacturing processes, and technicians are trained to meet necessary entry-level industrial skills and entry into a postsecondary program at a technical college. WTC and CCTC offer a fast track option for juniors/seniors. Qualified students will work towards articulating courses and will enroll in CCTC and take classes. Students who complete the fast track program will earn their Basic Mechatronics Technology Certification the summer after graduation.
WTC and CCTC offer a dual enrollment fast track option for senior. Qualified students will work toward articulating courses in their Junior year (IMT 211 and IMT 104) and will enroll in CCTC and take classes their Senior Year. Students who complete the fast track program will earn their Basic Mechatronics Technology Certificate the summer after graduation.
