35 Robotics and Mechatronics Associate of Applied Science Programs

The Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) certificate program prepares individuals either for initial employment or for enhancement of existing skills in the electronics field or for transfer into B.S. programs in Electronics Technology or Industrial Technology offered in the CSU system. Students completing the ECET certificate program possess ample skills to make them versatile employees.

The Mechatronics degree at Jamestown Community College prepares you to enter the workforce after graduation in industrial maintenance careers, focusing on automated systems that keep production lines, manufacturing floors, and industry processes working smoothly. While at JCC, you’ll learn engineering, machining, information technology, robotics, and electronics, which are reinforced through hands-on labs.

In this program, you’ll learn to repair, maintain, and help design pneumatics (compressed air) and hydraulics (pressurized oil) systems. As a graduate of the program, you’ll be ready to take the test to become nationally certified by the Fluid Power Society.

Mechatronic technology is an interdisciplinary field that combines the study of mechanics, electronics, automation, and computers. The program includes a wide range of skill-builder courses. The Associate in Science in Mechatronic Technology is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills required for a variety of positions in various industries.

The Industrial Electronics Technology Program provides entry-level skills in basic core competencies desired by the industry today. This program prepares students for work in the installation, testing, and maintenance of electrical and electronic systems in industrial, scientific, and commercial facilities. The program also provides specific training in basic computer hardware and software, programmable logic controllers, motors and motor control systems, three-phase power distribution, and human-machine interface and programming. Graduates are prepared to pursue jobs in areas such as automated manufacturing, electrical power distribution, protection systems, and other electrically-related fields.

In this program, you’ll learn to maintain, test, repair, and/or replace complex electrical systems and controls found in modern industrial plants and large commercial buildings. The program includes hands-on training in motors, generators, robotics, power distribution, and other electrical systems.

In this program, you will learn to build, evaluate, test, troubleshoot, service, and repair electronic devices, from the component level to the system level. The program offers four pathways: Applications, Avionics, Mechatronics, and Biomedical Equipment.

Mechatronics courses combine various disciplines to teach you a holistic approach to developing solutions for engineering applications. You will be able to add to your skillset practical knowledge in the integration of electrical systems, fluid power, electronics, computer controls, PLCs, instrumentation, robotics, and information technology.

The mechatronics technology program focuses on the integration of mechanical, electrical (electronics), fluid power (hydraulics or pneumatics), and computer technologies to control machine movements. The students’ studies begin with courses in mechanics, sensors, basic electronics, pneumatics, control logic, and robot programming and control.

The Associate in Applied Science degree in Electronics Engineering Technology provides students with a solid theoretical foundation and practical hands-on experience in electronics applications. Graduates of the program are prepared to work as electronics technicians with electronic circuits, control systems, computers, and robotics in the areas of design, analysis, testing, development, maintenance, production, research, and sales.

The Mechatronics Technology program provides skills and knowledge in five major areas: computer programming, electrical systems, mechanical systems, robotics, and additive manufacturing (3D printing).

Industrial technicians and mechatronics professionals are creating the future of industry and consumer products. In our Mechatronics program you will explore computer automated machines and develop problem solving and troubleshooting skills in mechanical, electrical, fluid power and programming areas.

Electronics Technology Learning opportunities develop academic, technical, and professional knowledge and skills required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement. The program emphasizes a combination of electronics technology theory and practical application necessary for successful employment using both manual and computerized electronics systems. Program graduates receive an Electronics Technology Associate of Science Degree which qualifies them as electronics technicians with a specialization in biomedical instrumentation, communication electronics, computer electronics, industrial electronics, general electronics, or telecommunication electronics.

The word mechatronics is a linguistic mash-up of “mechanical” and “electronics.” This field of science combines the control of mechanical systems using electronics and computers.

Since 1980, PIA has been one of the select schools in the nation that offers a program specifically designed to repair and maintain the complex avionics systems that are utilized within an aircraft and throughout the aviation industry. Our Aviation Electronics Technology program goes beyond the scope of just identifying and replacing faulty equipment.
