Industrial Robotics and Automation AAS
The Industrial Robotics and Automation AAS degree trains students to become versatile automation and mechatronics technicians capable of installing, programming, integrating, and maintaining advanced manufacturing systems. Building on the first-year foundation of automation and robotic principles, the second year focuses on advanced PLC and motion control through integrated manufacturing processes. Students spend significant time in the lab wiring and commissioning motors and drives, tuning PID loops, integrating robots with conveyors and CNC equipment, configuring industrial networks, and applying diagnostics and predictive maintenance strategies. The program concludes with a capstone proje
