If you want a career in a fast-growing, high-demand field, this program will prepare you for career opportunities in robotics and automation. Robotics students will be introduced to troubleshoot automated manufacturing equipment like PLCs, robotics, pneumatics, hydraulics, and motors and controls using Factory Automation Numerical Control (FANUC) robots.
Robotics technicians work in many different locations. Some are employed by factories
and automation facilities. Industrial robots in these places usually have a specific
job, such as welding or painting. Any time that a robot breaks or malfunctions, a
robotics expert is responsible for diagnosing and repairing the problem. Robot techs
must be able to work under pressure in order to minimize factory downtime and fix
problems quickly.
This program is offered on the Auburn Hills Campus
Prospective students must meet standard OCC eligibility requirements - there is an open admissions policy and placement tests and new student orientation are required in most cases. Students should meet with an OCC counselor before attempting this plan of study.

Advisory committees play an integral role in the occupational programs at OCC. As our connection to industry and other education partners, advisory committee members offer guidance on the program’s curriculum to ensure we are offering programming that aligns with industry needs. Advisory committee members also offer recommendations on equipment to purchase that ensures students are receiving training on equipment that mirrors what they will see in industry. The Robotics/Automated Systems Technology program is appreciative of its partners.
