AUTOMATION SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY
Associate in Applied Science (MSM.AAS)
The Automation Systems Technology program prepares students for careers as manufacturing and industrial technicians/technologists. Five degree options are available to accommodate student interests and industry needs:
- Automation
- Machine Repair
- Industrial Supervision
- Robotics
- Industrial Systems
The curriculum provides a strong technical and academic basis to prepare students for their careers. It has been designed to accommodate students coming from any background, with or without manufacturing or industrial work experience. The instructional approach is competency-based, contextual learning. Students will have opportunities to work with the flexible manufacturing system, simulation software, and electro-mechanical training modules.
