Electronics Expansion

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field that includes a combination of mechanics, robotics, electronics, computers, telecommunications, systems and controls. AMTC has a new mechatronics lab dedicated to all disciplines required for supporting and repairing mechatronics equipment used by manufacturers today and into the future. For example – The AMTC state of the art mechatronics equipment has a Fanuc Robotic arm.

AMTC trains students to pursue a career in mechatronics. Students will learn to program robots and PLCs (Programmable Logical Controllers), and troubleshoot electronic controls to ensure continuous operation of the mechatronics equipment. AMTC trains students to meet industry standards. More opportunities exist for higher earnings, and training costs are very affordable.

Mechatronics is a growing field. With manufacturing increasing in the USA, the need for mechatronics professionals is in higher demand. Skilled mechantronics technicians are needed to keep things running at peak performance. Automated manufacturing is taking the place of unskilled labor, but there is always a need for a skilled individual to keep the automated equipment running.
