Automated Manufacturing Technology refers to flexible manufacturing systems that use innovative technologies to improve both production processes and product quality.
The Automated Manufacturing Technology program prepares students to work with integrated systems, such as robotic automation, modular work cells, machining centers, welding stations, and mechanical and electrical technologies.
Students will explore how each technology supports the full product lifecycle, from initial design and production to final delivery.
This degree program offers multiple strands (or areas of focus), including Flex, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, and Robotics. Each strand includes a set of specialized elective courses within the core curriculum, allowing students to tailor their education to their interests and career goals.
The Mechatronics Strand is for students interested in how automated systems work. Mechatronics describes a mechanical/electrical system that is programed to control a process. All of the courses in this strand round out a student’s skills in mechanical design, electronics, programming, PLCs, Motor Control, Machining and Computer Aided Machining (CAM) allowing the student to design, troubleshoot and maintain a mechatronics system. Students with these skills are ready to enter the workforce as a technician in mechatronics, robotics, automation, engineering, manufacturing or electro-mechanical systems.
For the Mechatronics Strand students must complete the core AMT curriculum requirements with these strand electives
Mechatronics Strand Courses
- ADMT120M Motor Controls and PLCs for Manufacturing
- ADMT135M Basic Machining Practice
- ADMT230M CAD/CAM for Manufacturing.
- ADMT210M Manufacturing Systems I
Depending on the degree strand of study, Students graduating from this program will be able to:
• Implement and control automated manufacturing processes.
• Design components and assemblies using SolidWorks.
• Operate 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC equipment to fabricate components.
• Understand the flow of materials and resources within the manufacturing cycle.
• Integrate manufacturing systems to improve a process or product.
• Program robots, industrial controls, and automated equipment.
• Perform system analysis and troubleshoot manufacturing processes and systems.
• Apply lean manufacturing principles to reduce waste in the manufacturing process.
• Demonstrate theoretical knowledge of electronics, mechanics, computer
systems and software control systems.
