PURPOSE: This two-year degree prepares students to be mechanical engineering technologists with a focus on mechatronic and robotic systems. Technologists help mechanical engineers design, develop, test, and manufacture mechanical devices; install, repair, test, adjust, and operate automated and robotic machinery in factories and at other worksites; create, review and edit CAD drawing; or assist with development phases in research and development labs. This degree is offered at the Chester Campus. All career-technical degrees are guided by advisory committees comprised of local business leaders.
CREDENTIALS: An Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree is a major in a career-technical area that takes two years for full-time students to complete.
TRANSFER INFORMATION: Though this program is not designed for transfer, this degree may be transferable to some four-year colleges. Students desiring to transfer should consult their academic advisors and their intended transfer institutions for specific direction in program and course selection.
