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 Robotics Strand is for students interested in industrial robotics and automation. Students will program a variety of industrial and collaborative robots and explore how inputs and outputs control an automated system. All of the courses in this strand round out a student’s skills in mechanical design, electronics, programming, PLCs, motor control, robotic end effector design, machine vision and systems integration. Students with these skills are ready to enter the workforce as a technician in robotics, automation, engineering, manufacturing, or electro-mechanical systems.
For the Robotics Strand students must complete the core AMT curriculum requirements with these strand electives:
Robotics Strand Courses
- ADMT120M Motor Controls and PLCs for Manufacturing
- ADMT210M Manufacturing Systems 1
- ROBO210M Robotic Processes
- ROBO211M Robotic Design
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.
