Program Overview

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 Flex Strand is for students to customize their learning to a unique area of Automated Manufacturing. Students take the 6 core courses in the Automated Manufacturing Certificate to get a solid foundation in Automated Manufacturing. The student has the option to pick two Math and two Lab Science classes that match their desired area of study. The student also picks elective classes in that area of student with their work culminating in a capstone experience. This strand was specifically designed for emerging areas of Automated Manufacturing like Biofabrication, Industry 4.0 and AI Manufacturing.

For the Flex Strand students must complete the core Automated Manufacturing Technology (AMT) curriculum requirements with these strand electives:

Minimum 13 Elective credits in the following:

ADMT, ROBO, CBAM, CIS, BIO, PHYS, MATH, WELD, DATA, CHEM or as approved by the Department Chair
Note - 8 credits must be 200 level
Military Technical Transfer up to 10 Credits
