Introduction
Mechatronics integrates electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, hydraulics, information technology, and computer control systems into a single discipline that crosses most of a skilled technician's traditional boundaries. Mechatronics technicians need a broad understanding of how mechanical and electrical energy is produced, controlled, and utilized. The Mechatronics program is designed to teach a core set of technical skills applicable in a wide variety of settings.
The Associate of Applied Science degree, Technical Certificates, and Certificates of Proficiency are designed for employment purposes. It should not be assumed that the degree or the courses in these programs can be transferred to another institution. While some institutions accept some courses in A.A.S. programs, the general rule is that courses in A.A.S. degrees are not accepted in transfer toward bachelor's degrees unless that degree has been articulated with that specific institution. Students to whom transfer is important should get assurances in writing in advance from the institution they wish to transfer.
