Mechanical Engineering

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Formally named Robotics & Advanced Manufacturing, this program moves beyond manufacturing and robotics to prepare students for the demands of real-world manufacturing facilities. Begin a pathway through skills-based education filled with the most up-to-date and relevant practices. Students will cover three main areas of curriculum: Electrical, Manufacturing Operations and Mechanics & Hydraulics.

Designed to meet the present and future needs of industry, students work daily with the same equipment and techniques used by industry leaders. Students will study manufacturing operations as they focus on developing employability skills and the flexibility needed to adapt as technology evolves.
