COURSE CURRICULUM

The program offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip students with the essential skills and knowledge required for advanced roles in industrial and mechatronic systems. In Semester One, foundational courses such as Basic Electricity cover electrical principles, including DC circuits, basic AC, and three-phase power, while Blueprint Reading 1 introduces mechanical drawing theory and AutoCAD skills. Industrial Control focuses on motor control circuits and sensing devices, and Machine Maintenance 1 teaches component inspection and replacement. Students also learn metal cutting basics in Machine Tools 1, apply technical math skills in Technical Math 1, and develop global perspectives through Becoming a Global Changemaker. Semester Two builds on this foundation with Advanced Electricity exploring AC concepts and circuit troubleshooting, and Blueprint Reading & CAD 2 deepening drawing interpretation skills. Fluid Power and Control introduces pneumatic and hydraulic systems, while Industrial Control Electronics covers semiconductor devices and industrial control equipment. Lean Manufacturing introduces waste reduction principles, Occupational Health & Safety emphasizes workplace safety, and Programmable Logic Controller Fundamentals teaches PLC programming basics. General Education electives further broaden student learning. Semester Three advances skills with courses like Advanced Programmable Logic Controllers, CAD 3 focusing on solid modeling, and Components & Electrical addressing mechanical and electrical components within complex systems. Electrical Components (SMSCP) emphasizes electrical troubleshooting, Instrumentation Systems Theory and Practical covers instrumentation, and Technical Math 2 introduces calculus and statistics. Semester Four focuses on Automation Systems (SMSCP), teaching CNC, CAD/CAM, microcontrollers, and manufacturing technologies, while Instrumentation & Digital Control Systems integrates analog control into automation. Integrated Automation explores Siemens automation concepts, including programming and communication protocols. Mechanics and Machine Elements covers design and selection of machine parts. Motor Control (SMSC) studies various motor types and safety standards, and Robotics introduces industrial and collaborative robots, programming, and safety. This curriculum ensures students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, preparing them for dynamic careers in mechatronics and automation.
