Advanced manufacturing technology is used in automated fabrication machinery (robotics) that require skilled technicians to design, program, service and repair. Mechatronics refers to the combination of mechanics and electronics.
Our hands-on Advanced Manufacturing programs prepare graduates to go to work as an entry-level service technician, diagnosing, servicing and repairing automated systems. This program offers an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Advanced Manufacturing Technology, an Advanced Manufacturing Technician Certificate, a Basic Manufacturing Technician Certificate, a Mechatronics Technician Certificate, and an Advanced Manufacturing Level 1 Machining Certificate. Advanced manufacturing skills are also an excellent supplement to related areas such as electronics and engineering.
Grayson College Admission policies require a high school diploma or equivalent. The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree requires TSI completion. The certificates are TSI exempt.
