1.00 Credits
In this course, students will learn of the varying skills a Mechatronic Technician will utilize across multiple sectors of Industry. Students will be provided with several broad industry overviews, research local companies, discuss and discover day to day operations, and then compare and contrast those ideas after a tour. The course is focused on exploring less advertised company positions in the maintenance sector, preparing for interviews, creating a resume, and becoming comfortable with the interview process. (Prerequisite: None) (1 Credit: 0 Lec/1 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
In this course, students will learn how a well-rounded Mechatronics Technician is able to solve a wide variety of manufacturing problems using a combination of today's classroom learning, critical listening, and what to look for in tomorrows on the job training. This course is only the start of a lifelong learning process and the basis for information retention where we will discover the basic needs to become an effective manufacturing problem solver. The course covers a variety of soft skills, industrial maintenance applications, and standardized problem-solving techniques found within industry. (Prerequisite: none) (3 Credits: 3 lecture/0 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
In this course, students will be introduced to different welding and cutting processes. Topics covered include: weld fusion, heat distortion, penetration, and their effects to the parent material. Students will learn the basics to properly set up welding equipment, cutting machines, and demonstrate weld shop safety. We will identify the differences between good quality welds and poor-quality welds. Proper compressed cylinder transport and storage will also be covered. (Prerequisite: none) (3 Credits: 2 lecture/1 lab)
