Mechatronics

Description

Mechatronics in modern industry relies on highly complex production systems to produce high-quality, economical products for an ever demanding world. This degree trains students to effectively troubleshoot, maintain, and repair mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, digital, PLC, and motion control systems. Students who complete this program of study will be prepared to work in a wide range of industries that utilize modern equipment, including industrial robotics, programmable logic controllers and other electrical / mechanical systems. Students also develop skills needed to enable processes to work together by integrating technologies similar to those found in manufacturing, logistics, distribution centers, and industrial applications.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon the successful completion of this program, students should be able to:

1. Identify Control System Component Types
2. Measure I/O Signals at a Digital I/O Interface Module
3. Design a PLC Program That Provides Manual/Auto/Reset Functions
4. Describe a Sequence of Operation
5. Understand robotic skills, such as safety, power-up, shutdown, manual operation, homing, and end effector operation.
6. Program basic robot movement and effector commands, interfacing and material handling, application development, flexible manufacturing cells, and workcell development.
