An Innovative 国产直播福利 Partnership 鈥 the best of both!
In response to industry demand for skilled technicians, North Seattle 国产直播福利 has joined efforts with Shoreline Community 国产直播福利 to offer applied training in the emerging, rapidly growing field of mechatronics. Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field combining learning from multiple engineering domains. The mechatronics pathway provides training in mechanics, electronics, robotics, programmable logic controls (PLCs), IT, hydraulics/pneumatics, preventative maintenance, and machine tool operation.
By pairing robust, established programs in Electronics at North Seattle 国产直播福利 and Machine Maintenance and Manufacturing at Shoreline Community 国产直播福利, our students benefit from multiple program entry and exit points, flexible scheduling, and an expanded team of faculty with extensive experience and links to industry. Coursework combines classroom instruction with lab-based learning.
Interdisciplinary Training
Greater speed, precision and efficiency achieved through automation technology has fueled the demand for technicians with this broad, integrated knowledge base required to install, maintain and troubleshoot increasingly complex systems. Skills developed are applicable across employment sectors with particular demand in advanced manufacturing, aerospace, and logistics. As local industries increasingly automate their operations, the demand for technicians with baseline interdisciplinary training will keep pace.
Mechatronics students complete a one year certificate in Industrial Automation and Electronic Controls at North Seattle 国产直播福利. Students can choose to continue their training at Shoreline Community 国产直播福利, completing a one year certificate in Industrial Maintenance Robotics and Manufacturing. Certificates earned at both North Seattle 国产直播福利 and Shoreline Community 国产直播福利 stack into the Mechatronics AAS degree.
Whether you are seeking job advancement through skill enhancement, want to transition into a new field or are just beginning your career, mechatronics training at North Seattle 国产直播福利 will position you well for gainful employment and career growth.
