Electromechanical systems, also referred to as mechatronics, is a new and rapidly growing field that integrates electronics, and mechanics. pneumatics, hydraulics, and computer control systems to create new and improved automated manufacturing production systems. This program is designed for people who are interested in plant maintenance (troubleshooting & repair), process set up, installation, and commissioning. Electromechanical Systems move beyond simply cross-training employees, as the discipline recognizes that individuals need to be trained in five areas: mechanical, electrical, fluid power, process control, and industrial programming. The Electromechanical Systems: Industrial Programming Certificate program requires high school graduation or equivalent. Students should have an interest and aptitude in applied algebra, trigonometry, drawing, and science. Good eyesight and color vision are important.
