Second year students continue various projects within these topics while advancing their design, troubleshooting, and maintenance skills.</span></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div> <div id="pastingspan1"> <div id="pastingspan1"><span style="font-size: medium;">The focus of the&nbsp;Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary field of science that includes a combination of mechanical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, telecommunications engineering, systems engineering and control engineering.&nbsp; As technology advances, the subfields of engineering multiply and adapt.&nbsp; Mechatronics’ aim is a design process that unifies these subfields.&nbsp; Originally, mechatronics just included the combination of mechanics and electronics, hence the word is a combination of mechanics and electronics; however, as technical systems have become more and more complex the definition has been broadened to include more technical areas. &nbsp;We also include robotics, 3D design in Autocad, 3D printing, Pneumatics design and control, Programmable logic controller, and much, much more. &nbsp;</span></div> </div> <p><span style="font-size: medium;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;">Prerequisites:Proficient in Alegebra I or higher- level math&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;">Opportunities in Dual Credit with State Fair Community College</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium;">Articulation agreement with State Technical College</span></p> &nbsp;</div> <div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</div> <div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></div></div></fs_content>
